Effects of nimodipine on extracellular dopamine levels in the rat nucleus accumbens in ethanol withdrawal.

abstract：:The kainate-type of ionotropic glutamate receptors are assembled from a combination of five different pore-forming subunits (GluK1-5), which confer distinct functional and pharmacological properties. These receptors are also modulated by co-assembly with the auxiliary subunits Neto1 and Neto2. To determine the impact ...
