Dopamine control of pyramidal neuron activity in the primary motor cortex via D2 receptors

Dopamine control of pyramidal neuron activity in the primary motor cortex via D2 receptors

The primary motor cortex (M1) is involved in fine voluntary movements control. Previous studies have shown the existence of a dopamine (DA) innervation in M1 of rats and monkeys that could directly modulate M1 neuronal activity. However, none of these studies have described the precise distribution...
