Dendrite-specific synaptic inputs onto dopaminergic SNc neurons

Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons integrate synaptic inputs through dendrites that project laterally within the SNc and ventrally into the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), which then determines dopaminergic…

Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons integrate synaptic inputs through dendrites that project laterally within the SNc and ventrally into the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), which then determines dopaminergic output. We use spatially-specific…
