Effects of phenylalanine on the release of endogenous dopamine from rat striatal slices.

abstract：:Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors labelled with tritiated agonists are reduced in the cerebral cortex in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but to date it has not been demonstrated which nicotinic receptor subunits contribute to this deficit.
