In Vivo Microdialysis to Study Striatal Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration
Microdialysis cerebral technique has been widely employed in order to study neurotransmitter release. This technique presents numerous advantages such as it allows work with sample in vivo from freely moving a...

The 5-HT2C Receptor Subtype Controls Central Dopaminergic Systems: Evidence from Electrophysiological and Neurochemical Studies
Several studies have focused on the role of serotonergic 5-HT2C receptors in the regulation of forebrain dopamine (DA) function and have highlighted their potential as a target for improved treatments of neuropsy...

Preferential Modulation of the GABAergic vs. Dopaminergic Function in the Substantia Nigra by 5-HT2C Receptor
Serotonin (5-HT) is intimately involved in the modulation of the basal ganglia circuitry and in its pathologies. The 5-HT pivotal role is supported by anatomical evidence demonstrating a large serotonergic inn...

Nitric Oxide Modulation of the Dopaminergic Nigrostriatal System: Focus on Nicotine Action
Nitric oxide (NO) signalling plays an important role in the integration of information processed by the basal ganglia nuclei. Accordingly, considerable evidence has emerged indicating a role for NO in pathophy...
