Discovery of a Tamoxifen-related compound that suppresses glial l-glutamate transport activity without interaction with estrogen receptors.

abstract：:Central norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) are involved in a variety of physiological functions and behaviors. Accumulating evidence suggests that NE neurons originating from the locus coeruleus (LC) innervate DA neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and influence VTA-DA neural activity. However, the underlyi...
