Impaired hippocampal long-term potentiation in melatonin MT2 receptor-deficient mice.

abstract：:It has been reported that tyrosine administration augments clozapine-induced dopamine (DA) release in the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC). To characterize this effect and exclude possible confounds, we conducted a series of studies in which microdialysate collection started 24 h after probe implantation, a time at whi...
