The present electrophysiological study shows that manipulation with endogenous brain kynurenic acid (KYNA) is able to affect the response of central noradrenergic neurons to nicotine. Previous studies have shown that systemically administered nicotine in low doses is associated with a marked, but sh
## Abstract Results obtained previously indicate that the firing pattern of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons is of importance for the terminal DA release. In the present combined electrophysiological and microdialysis study, the influence of the firing pattern on striatal DA release was studied by us
