(see article e1692242025)
Dopamine regulates neuron activity and influences circuit strength to impact behavior. It is established that acetylcholine and GABA modulate striatal dopamine release in mice. However, whether these neurotransmitters similarly influence striatal dopamine release in nonhuman primates was largely unexplored in comparative studies until now. To improve translatability between these species, Shin and colleagues …
