Abstract excerpt
Converging evidence supports a role for cholecystokinin (CCK) in modulating dopamine (DA)-mediated activity in the rat mesolimbic system. In particular, CCK co-localized with mesolimbic DA cells originating in the ventral tegmental area potentiates DA function in the medial posterior nucleus accumbens (mpNA) through CCK-A receptors. Recently, a strain of rats lacking the CCK-A receptor, Otsuka Long Evans...
