Activation of somatostatin receptors in the globus pallidus increases rat locomotor activity and dopamine release in the striatum.

abstract：:The relationship between norepinephrine (NE) content in cortex and spinal cord and acoustic startle amplitude was investigated in two experiments. Administration of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) depressed startle amplitude at the same time and dose that it most severely depleted NE content. These results support the co...
