Dopamine D(4) receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) are thought to play a key role in mediating the locomotor and sensitizing affects of psychostimulants, as well as the therapeutic efficacy of atypical antipsychotic drugs. We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to determine the
Previously, we demonstrated that gamma vinyl-GABA (GVG, Vigabatrin) dose-dependently inhibits cocaine-induced increases in dopamine (DA) concentrations in both the rodent and primate brain. Furthermore, it abolishes cocaine self-administration and conditioned place preference, while having no effect
