Abstract excerpt
The globus pallidus plays an important role in basal ganglia circuitry, representing the first relay nucleus of the 'indirect pathway' of striatal efferents. In contrast to the well-characterized actions of dopamine on striatal neurons, the functional role of the dopamine innervation of globus pallidus is less well understood. Previous research showed that systemic administration of either a dopamine D2 receptor...
