摘要: Abstract The ventral tegmental area (VTA) plays an important role in reward and motivational processes involved drug addiction. Previous studies have shown that alpha1-adrenoreceptors (α1-AR) are primarily found pre-synaptically at this area. We hypothesized GABA released onto VTA-dopamine (DA) cells is modulated by pre-synaptic α1-AR. Recordings were obtained from putative VTA-DA of male Sprague–Dawley rats (28–50 days postnatal) using whole-cell voltage clamp technique. Phenylephrine (10 μM; α1-AR agonist) decreased the amplitude A receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) evoked electrical stimulation afferent fibers ( n  = 7; p  = 13;  = 9;  > 0.05). low Ca 2+ (1 mM) medium IPSC  = 6; This article part Special Issue entitled ‘GABAergic Signaling Health Disease’.
