| Research Abstract |
The present electrophysiological study has clarified a developmental increase in dopamine D1-like receptor-mediated inhibition of glutamatergic transmission onto cholinergic neurons in the rat basal forebrain through adenylyl cyclase and P/Q-type calcium channel regulation.
The present electrochemical study, introducing a new biosensor material, carbon nanotube, has succeeded in the detection of physiologically released dopamine as a redox current in brain slice preparation. Furthermore, the present study has established a method for simultaneous recordings of dopamine release and membrane potential, thereby clarifying that activation of D2-like receptors reduces dopamine release by hyperpolarizing the membrane of dopaminergic neurons.
