PLASTICITY OF MESOLIMBIC DOPAMINE NEURONS

摘要: ABSTRACT The developmental growth of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) neurons and their reaction to partial deafferentation the olfactory tubercle (OT) as reflected by changes in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity 3H-DA uptake were found be very similar. A transient elevation TH A10 cell bodies preceded axon terminals a gradual but permanent increase within OT. Collateral sprouting, however, did not occur prior an initial period OT, target area.
