New manuscript is on BioRxiv! We (+@StephCragg) found that ChIs (via nAChRs) profoundly, continuously, and dynamically DEPRESS DA release, and dissociate cell body activity from striatal DA release, by preventing subsequent depolarisation of DA axons. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

An axonal brake on striatal dopamine output by cholinergic interneurons

Depolarisation of distal axons is necessary for neurons to translate somatic action potentials into neurotransmitter release. Studies have shown that striatal cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) can...

Also v happy to see some of the team’s hard work out this week ☺️ and grateful to @yulonglilab for the collaboration! #dopamine #adenosine #astrocytes !
Teresa Esch (JNeurosci Features)@TEschJNFE7 Mar 2022
How much dopamine is released in the nucleus accumbens during tonic vs phasic spiking depends on extracellular adenosine level, which @BradleyMRoberts @StephCragg &al show depends on astrocytes & is affected by alcohol. Read more This Week @SfNJournals bit.ly/TWIJ030222
