Baclofen effects on dopamine release.
By
Anonymous on 03/28/2018
Assay Type: Ex Vivo
Species: Mouse
Effects of GABAB agonism on electrically stimulated dopamine release was measured using fast scan cyclic voltammetry. Baclofen (30uM) was bath applied. This is a maximal concentration.
Effect was pretty small on striatal dopamine release. This may be due to low expression on terminals.

Addiction Poster
The key feature of drug addiction is the inability to stop using a drug despite clear evidence of harm. This poster describes the brain circuits associated with addiction, and provides an overview of the main classes of addictive drugs and the neurotransmitter systems that they target.
