The repeated administration of selective kappa-opioid receptor agonists prevents the locomotor activation produced by acute cocaine administration and the development of cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization. Previous studies have shown that dopamine (DA) D2 autoreceptors modulate the synthesis a

## Opioid receptor agonists (e.g.,488) increase the locomotor activity of preweanling rats, while the same drugs depress the locomotor activity of adults. Curiously, direct stimulation of dopamine (DA) D 2 -like receptors fully attenuates the U-50,488-induced locomotor activity of preweanling rats
## Abstract Excessive glutamate transmission in the basal ganglia is a major factor in the neural mechanisms underlying parkinsonian akinesia. Activation of K opioid receptors causes a presynaptic reduction in glutamate release. K opioid receptors are concentrated in those regions of the basal gang
## Abstract The locomotor effects of intraβNAcc injection of dopamine receptor agonists following discrete lesion or inhibition of the DH or the VH have been poorly investigated using only the indirect dopamine receptor agonist amphetamine. In the present study, we investigated how lidocaine in the
