Besides the presence of the most abundant γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA-ergic) medium spiny neurons (MSNs), the striatum also contains distributed populations of cholinergic interneurons (ChIs), which ...

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) contains projection neurons that release the neurotransmitters dopamine, GABA, and/or glutamate from distal synapses. VTA also contains GABA neurons that synapse ...

2017; for review see Tufo et al., 2022), there are other potential indirect ways in which depolarising a DA neuron might produce a GABA response in that same cell. In conclusion, these findings ...

Microglia may act using several of the mechanisms described above based in close microglia-neuron contact (elimination ... synaptic maturation of adult-born GCs by modulation of GABA-mediated ...
