Presynaptic action of neurotensin on dopamine release through inhibition of D<sub>2 </sub>receptor function

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Neurotensin (NT) is known to act on dopamine (DA) neurons at the somatodendritic level to regulate cell firing and secondarily enhance DA release. In addition, anatomical and indirect physiological data suggest the presence of NT rec...
