Abstract excerpt
Compelling evidence indicates that the long (D2L) and the short (D2S) isoform of dopamine (DA) D2 receptors serve distinct physiological functions in vivo. To address the involvement of these isoforms in the control of synaptic transmission in the striatum, we measured the sensitivity to D2 receptor stimulation of glutamate- and GABA-mediated currents recorded from striatal neurons of three mutant mice, in which...
