Dopamine’s effects in the brain are mediated by postsynaptic D1 and D2 receptors. Adenosine A1 and A2A receptors are uniquely positioned to counteract the excessive stimulation of dopamine receptors ...
This study uses state-of-the-art methods to label endogenous dopamine receptors in a subset of Drosophila mushroom body neuronal types. The authors report that Dop1R1 and Dop2R receptors, which have ...
Localization of receptors and correlating them to function is important in understanding the circuit basis of behavior. Strengths: The split-GFP approach allows visualization of subcellular enrichment ...
Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter known to modulate motivation and reinforcement learning. While the role of dopamine in these reward-related processes is well-established, the cellular and neural ...
