Activation of the spinal and brainstem locomotor networks during free treadmill stepping in rats lacking dopamine transporter

Activation of the spinal and brainstem locomotor networks during free treadmill stepping in rats lacking dopamine transporter

Dopamine is extremely important for the multiple functions of the brain and spinal cord including locomotor behavior. Extracellular dopamine levels are controlled by the membrane dopamine transporter (DAT), and animals lacking DAT (DAT-KO) are characterized by hyperdopaminergia and several alteratio...
