Dopamine Controls Locomotion by Modulating the Activity of the Cholinergic Motor Neurons in C. elegans
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, where it plays a regulatory role in the coordination of movement and cognition by acting through two classes of G protein-coupled receptors to modulate synaptic activity. In addition, it has been shown these two receptor classes can exhibit sy...
