The effect of unilateral intrastriatal cannabinoid receptor stimulation on rotational behavior in
rats was explored. The potent cannabinoid agonist CP 55,940 (5 μg/0.5 μl) induced …

The ion channels of rat striatal neurons are known to be modulated by stimulation of D1
dopamine receptors. The susceptibility of depolarization‐activated K+ currents to be …

In order to improve the identification and characterization of dopaminoceptive neurons, the
rat brain was mapped for D 1 dopamine receptor mRNA by non-radioactive in situ …

It is well established that the opioid neuropeptide and dopamine systems are altered
following the use of cocaine. However very little information is available about their possible …

Neuroplasticity serves an important role for normal striatal function and in disease states.
One route to neuroplasticity involves activation of the transcription factor cyclic 3′, 5 …

The prototypical neuroleptic haloperidol and the atypical antipsychotic clozapine induce
distinctly different patterns of c-fos expression in the forebrain. While haloperidol appears to …

Striatal tissue concentrations of neurotensin, expression of neurotensin/neuromedin N
(NT/N) mRNA, and numbers of neurotensin‐immunoreactive neurons are increased by d …

One view of the efferent circuitry of the basal ganglia holds that dopamine D1 and D2
receptors are segregated to striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons, respectively. The …

The regulation of striatal cholinergic function by dopamine D1 receptor activation was
examined in vivo in urethane-anaesthetized rats with microdialysis probes. Extracellular …

In vivo microdialysis was used to study the effect of the non-selective muscarinic antagonist,
trihexyphenidyl, on the decarboxylation of levodopa (l-dopa) in the striatum of hemi …
