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 …

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 has been shown to inhibit dopamine release from striatal slices and
synaptosomes. Recently, a direct interaction between the adenosine A2 receptor and …

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 …

Adenosine acts as a neuromodulator through A1 and A2 receptors. The adenosine analogs
have been recognized, among other effects, as strong depressors of the locomotor activity …

Adenosine plays a very significant role in modulating striatal glutamatergic and
dopaminergic neurotransmission. In the present essay we first review the extensive …

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

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 …

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