Despite the importance of dopamine signaling, it remains unknown if the two major
subclasses of dopamine receptors exist on the same or distinct populations of neurons. Here …

In situ hybridization was combined with FluoroGold retrograde labelling to determine the
distribution of messenger RNAs for the D1 dopamine receptor, D2 dopamine receptor, β …

Signalling in the CNS depends on a complex interplay between multiple transmitters and
their receptors. but also on the presence of local, nontransmitter factors. In this brief overview …

Yan, Zhen, Wen-Jie Song, and D. James Surmeier. D2 dopamine receptors reduce N-type
Ca2+ currents in rat neostriatal cholinergic interneurons through a membrane-delimited …

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1–M5) regulate many key functions of the central and
peripheral nervous system. Primarily because of the lack of receptor subtype-selective …

The function of dopamine D 3 receptors present in the striatum has remained elusive. In the
present study evidence is provided for the existence of dopamine D 1–D 3 receptor …

Dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra provide one of the major neuromodulatory
inputs to the neostriatum. Recent in situ hybridization experiments have suggested that …

The ability of the extracellular nucleoside adenosine to regulate metabolism has been
intensively studied since the original description of the cardiovascular effects of adenosine …

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 …

Stimulation of dopamine (DA) receptors in the striatum is essential for voluntary motor
activity and for the generation of plasticity at corticostriatal synapses. In the present study …
