^a: Abbreviations for neurotransmission patterns are: millisecond (ms), second (s), a single pulse (sp), repetitive pulses (rp), transient transmission (tt), sustained transmission (st), high amplitude signal (ha), and low amplitude signal (la).

^b: The responses of the DARPP-32 state and its output are presented as transient dynamics and long-term state. The transient dynamics is described as trough (∇), essentially flat (↔, and peak (Δ) reflecting the main characteristic of the response. The long-term state of phosphorylation is given in relation to the resting level as decreased (↓), basal (≡), and increased (↑).
