How does adenosine control neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration?

RA Cunha - Journal of neurochemistry, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The adenosine modulation system mostly operates through inhibitory A1 (A1R) and
facilitatory A2A receptors (A2AR) in the brain. The activity‐dependent release of adenosine …
