Differential calcium dependence of axonal versus somatodendritic dopamine release, with characteristics of both in the ventral tegmental area
Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) exhibit somatodendritic release of DA. Previous studies indicate a difference between the Ca2+ dependence of somatodendritic DA release in the SNc and that of axonal DA release in dorsal stri...
