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

Antagonistic interactions between adenosine A2a and dopamine D2 receptors and between
adenosine A1 and dopamine D1 receptors have been previously found in the basal ganglia …

Since high-affinity adenosine A2 receptors (A2a) are localized exclusively in dopamine-rich
regions in the central nervous system and mediate inhibition of locomotor activity, we have …

From behavioural and biochemical experiments, we have found evidence for the existence
of a specific adenosine A2a receptor/dopamine D2 receptor interaction in the brain …

Neurochemical and pharmcological evidence obtained over the past 300 yr has indicated
that adenosine and dopamine interact functionally in the basal ganglia and that such …

Dopamine release is regulated by presynaptic dopamine receptors and interactions
between adenosine and dopamine receptors have been well documented. In the present …

The mechanism underlying dopamine D1receptor-mediated attenuation of glutamatergic
synaptic input to nucleus accumbens (NAcc) neurons was investigated in slices of rat …

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 …

Adenosine A1 receptors are inhibitory G-protein coupled receptors that presynaptically
regulate neurotransmitter release, but their role in self-regulating adenosine release is not …

The distribution, molecular structure and role of adenosine A2 receptors in the nervous
system, is reviewed. The adenosine A2a receptor subtype, identified in the nervous system …
