Presence of Inhibitory Glycinergic Transmission in Medium Spiny Neurons in the Nucleus Accumbens

It is believed that the rewarding actions of drugs are mediated by dysregulation of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system leading to increased levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (nAc). It is widely recognized that GABAergic transmission is critical for neuronal inhibition within nAc. However,...
