nervous system
• only a minority of dopaminergic projections remain intake
|
• YFP+ dopamine neurons fail to exhibit glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) unlike control cells
• at P9 to P10, mice exhibit a reduction in glutamatergic with fewer neurons responding to ventral tegmental area stimulation compared with similarly treated control cells
|
behavior/neurological
• cocaine-treated mice exhibit less locomotor activity compared with control mice
• however, cocaine-treated mice exhibit conditioned place preference
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• the ventral striatum exhibit reduced dopamine and evoked dopamine release compared to in control mice
