Abstract excerpt
We reported previously that mice lacking one brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) allele demonstrate elevated striatal dopamine (DA) concentrations but impaired behavioral responses involving the nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) system. To test the hypothesis that these elevated striatal DA concentrations are associated with perturbed NSDA functioning, we compared striatal DA output between heterozygous...
