Figure 4. Dopamine release and clearance in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core of DBA and C57 mice.

Figure 4

DBA and C57 mice have similar presynaptic dopamine dynamics in the NAc core. (A) Raw dopamine traces from the NAc core of C57 (left; red) and DBA (right; blue) mice. (B) Electrically evoked dopamine release (left) and tau (dopamine clearance, right) were similar between strains. (C) Quinpirole, a D2-like autoreceptor agonist, was applied to brain slices containing the NAc core to determine autoreceptor sensitivity. There were no differences between strains with respect to autoreceptor sensitivity. DA, dopamine; Stim, stimulation.
