GABAergic control of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

TL;DR: In addition to the effects that nigral GABAergic output neurons have on their target nuclei outside of the basal ganglia, local interactions between GABAergic projection neurons and dopaminergic neurons are crucially important to the functioning of the nigral dopaminationergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin enhances striatal dopamine release by activating cholinergic interneurons and thereby signals reward

TL;DR: It is reported here that insulin can amplify action potential-dependent dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and caudate–putamen through an indirect mechanism that involves striatal cholinergic interneurons that express InsRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Type-Specific Differences in Chloride-Regulatory Mechanisms and GABAA Receptor-Mediated Inhibition in Rat Substantia Nigra

TL;DR: It is suggested that KCC2 is responsible for maintaining the low intracellular Cl- concentration in nigral GABAergic neurons, whereas a sodium-dependent anion (Cl--HCO3-) exchanger and ClC-2 are likely to serve this role in dopaminergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria Are the Source of Hydrogen Peroxide for Dynamic Brain-Cell Signaling

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated three possible sources of H2O2 produced for rapid neuronal signaling in striatum: mitochondrial respiration, monoamine oxidase (MAO), and NADPH oxidase(Nox).
