Abstract:
1. In vitro studies have indicated that several transmitters present in the striatum can regulate presynaptically the release of dopamine (DA) from nerve terminals of the nigrostriatal DA neurons. 2. The receptors involved in these local regulatory processes are located or not located on DA nerve terminals. 3. Recent in vivo investigations have demonstrated that the corticostriatal glutamatergic neurons facilitate presynaptically the release of DA and have allowed the analysis of the respective roles of presynaptic events and nerve activity in the control of DA transmission.
