This review updates the existing knowledge suggesting a role for the D3 receptor in
schizophrenia and drug addiction. The D3 receptor is expressed in brain regions controlling …

While a basal ganglia with striatal and pallidal subdivisions is1 clearly present in many
extant anamniote species, this basal ganglia is cell sparse and receives only a relatively …

The axonal arbors of single nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons were visualized with a viral
vector expressing membrane-targeted green fluorescent protein in rat brain. All eight …

The mesocorticolimbic dopamine (DA) system plays important roles in reward, motivation,
learning, memory, and movement. This system arises from the A10 region, comprising the …

Antibodies specific for the dopamine transporter (DAT) was developed and characterized by
immunoblot analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunocytochemistry, and used for …

Publisher Summary The basal ganglia are a major neural system that receive cortical inputs,
process these inputs, and feed them back to the cortex via connections through the midbrain …

Calcium-binding protein (CaBP) and parvalbumin are two proteins that are expressed in
brain and bind calcium in the micromolar range. The immunohistochemical distribution of …

In the adult rat the striatum is a compartmentalized structure, which is reflected in the
inhomogeneous distribution of dopamine. As a first step to test the hypothesis that dopamine …

The purpose of this book is threefold:(1) to present a short but comprehensive survey of the
localization of a number of transmitters and other neuroactive principles in the mammalian …

The external globus pallidus (GP e) of the basal ganglia is in a unique and powerful position
to influence processing of motor information by virtue of its widespread projections to all …
