Previous studies have demonstrated opposing roles for adenosine A1 and A2A receptors in
the modulation of extracellular levels of glutamate and dopamine in the striatum. In the …

Adenosine and dopamine are two important modulators of glutamatergic neurotransmission
in the striatum. However, conflicting reports exist about the role of adenosine and adenosine …

To clarify differences in the operating mechanisms of adenosine receptor subtypes (A1 and
A2), striatal extracellular dopamine levels under various conditions were determined by in …

Adenosine, by acting on adenosine A1 and A2A receptors, exerts opposite modulatory roles
on striatal extracellular levels of glutamate and dopamine, with activation of A1 inhibiting …

An increase in the extracellular concentration of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (NAc)
is believed to be one of the main mechanisms involved in the rewarding and motor …

The nucleus accumbens is considered to be critically involved in the control of complex
motivated behaviors. By modulating its glutamatergic excitatory input, mesolimbic …

The effect of adenosine receptor agonists on the release of striatal dopamine (DA), induced
by repeated doses of methamphetamine (MTH), was evaluated. Rats received three …

Electrophysiological recordings in rat brain slices have been used to study the actions of
adenosine on striatal neurons and striatal excitatory amino acid neurotransmission …

Adult male mice were stereotaxically implanted with permanent indwelling guide cannulae
for bilateral injections into the nucleus accumbens (ACB). The effects on spontaneous …

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) subserves behaviors governed by natural rewards, ie,
feeding or exploration, and has been implicated in control of prepulse inhibition (PPI), a …
