GABA uptake transporters support dopamine release in dorsal striatum with maladaptive downregulation in a parkinsonism model

GABA transporters expressed in the striatum may affect behaviour. Here the authors investigate the contribution of GABA transporters on astrocytes to the regulation of dopamine release in the striatum, and show decreased expression of GAT-1 and GAT-3 in a mouse model of Parkinsonism.
