Abstract excerpt
Stimulation of the dopamine (DA) system disrupts prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response. On the basis of rat studies, it appeared that DA D2 receptors (D2Rs) rather than D1 receptors (D1Rs) regulate PPI, albeit possibly in synergism with D1Rs. To characterize the DA receptor modulation of PPI in another species, we tested DA D1R and D2R mutant mice with direct and indirect DA agonists and with...
