## Abstract Altered excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotransmission, mediated primarily by glutamate, is a major cause of the imbalance of excitation and inhibition which characterizes both early development and epileptogenesis. Glutamate's actions are mediated by three classes of receptors: NMDA, no
Of the five cloned muscarinic receptor subtypes, dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas have been shown to be selectively enriched with the mRNA for the m5 subtype, suggesting that muscarinic modulation of DA neurons may have a distinct pharmacology. In the present
