Inhibition of the electrically evoked release of [3H]acetylcholine in rat striatal slices: an experimental model for drugs that enhance dopaminergic neurotransmission.

abstract：:The binding characteristics of [3H] alpha-dihydropicrotoxinin to the picrotoxinin binding site were investigated in membrane preparations of adult rat forebrain and living cultures of rat cerebral cortex. The binding of [3H]alpha-dihydropicrotoxinin to rat forebrain was decreased by lysing, treating with Triton X-100,...
