Dopamine is a prototypical neuromodulator that controls circuit function through G protein-
coupled receptor signalling. Neuromodulators are volume transmitters, with release followed …

Neuropeptides that are released from dendrites, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, function
as autocrine or paracrine signals at their site of origin, but can also act at distant brain …

Dopamine neurons are characterized by their response to unexpected rewards, but they

Dopaminergic projection axons from the midbrain to the striatum are crucial for motor
control, as their degeneration in Parkinson disease results in profound movement deficits …

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are secreted by neurons and relay messages to target
cells. The goal of in vivo electrochemistry is to provide a real-time view of neurotransmitters …
