Title: The role of dopamine in the basal ganglia
Description: "An exploration of the nature of dopamine-glutamate interactions in the basal ganglia from receptor molecules to complex behaviors, this volume reviews basic anatomy, discusses the subtypes and signaling pathways of the dopamine and glutamate receptors expressed in the basal ganglia, and their interaction down to the molecular level. Coverage includes endogenous and exogenous modulators of dopamine-glutamate interactions and the implications of these interactions, measuring the key basal ganglia functions at the physiological and behavioral level. It also examines the concept that compromised dopamine-glutamate interactions may underpin basal ganglia disorders"--Provided by publisher.
