Dopamine inhibits excitatory neurotransmission in basolateral amygdala during development via pre-synaptic mechanism.

OBJECTIVES: Dopaminergic signaling in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is important for emotion-related activity. However, little is known about the influence of dopamine (DA) on excitatory synaptic transmission of pyramidal neurons in BLA at early developmental stage. Here in this study, we observed the effect of DA on excitatory neurotr.....
