“…D1-like receptor stimulation decreases release of glutamate onto L5 pyramidal cells in PFC (Gao et al, 2001; Gao and Goldman-Rakic, 2003; Gonzalez-Islas and Hablitz, 2003; Seamans et al, 2001a) and SPNs in ventral striatum (Harvey and Lacey, 1997; Nicola and Malenka, 1997; Pennartz et al, 1992; Wang et al, 2012) but not dorsal striatum (Nicola and Malenka, 1998). Moreover, DA-mediated activation of D1-like receptors reduces GABA release onto cortical FS interneurons (Towers and Hestrin, 2008), L2–5 PFC pyramidal neurons (Gao et al, 2003; Gonzalez-Islas and Hablitz, 2001), and SPNs in ventral striatum only (Nicola and Malenka, 1997, 1998; Pennartz et al, 1992; Taverna et al, 2005). Thus, at synapses responsive to DA modulation, DA typically acts to decrease P release .…”
