The impact of a parkinsonian lesion on dynamic striatal dopamine transmission depends on nicotinic receptor activation.

Dopamine function is disturbed in Parkinson's disease (PD), but whether and how release of dopamine from surviving neurons is altered has long been debated. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on dopamine axons powerfully govern dopamine release and could be critical contributing factors...
