Afferents to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) from the hippocampal formation and from midbrain
dopamine (DA) neurons have been implicated in the cognitive and adaptive functions of this …

In order to determine what types of neurons in the striatum receive direct synaptic input from
corticostriatal and thalamostriatal fibres and whether these afferents converge on individual …

Levine. Dopaminergic modulation of NMDA-induced whole cell currents in neostriatal …

Dopamine (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA)
respond to a wide category of salient stimuli. Activation of SN and VTA DA neurons, and …

Dopamine (DA) axon terminals (varicosities) in the neostriatum of adult rats were examined
for shape, size, content, synaptic incidence, type of junction, synaptic targets, and …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 113, 1073–1091. Abstract Abnormal expansion of a polyglutamine
tract in huntingtin (Htt) protein results in Huntington's disease (HD), an autosomal dominant …

Dopamine (DA) in the dorsal and ventral striatum is associated with different aspects of
locomotor activity control. The ventral striatum may form an interface between the limbic …

The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor‐mediated regulation of the release of newly
synthesized [3H] dopamine ([3H] DA) was studied in vitro, both on rat striatal slices using a …

Since the discovery that the therapeutic efficacy of antipsychotic drugs was significantly
correlated to their ability to block dopamine D2 receptors, abnormal dopamine transmission …

The nigrostriatal dopaminergic projection is crucial for the striatal processing of motor
information received from the cortex. Lesion of this pathway in rats causes locomotor …
