Site-specific Facilitation or Inhibition of Dopamine-reward by Viral Transfection of M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Tegmentum of M5 Knockout Mice

Knockdown of the M5 acetylcholine muscarinic receptor in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) reduces brain-stimulation reward sensitivity in rats. Knockout (KO) of the M5 receptor in mice reduces morphine-induced dopamine efflux, locomotion, conditionedplace- preference, and mating-induced 30-110 kHz u...
