Drugs abused by humans preferentially increase synaptic dopamine concentrations in the mesolimbic system of freely moving rats - PubMed

The effect of various drugs on the extracellular concentration of dopamine in two terminal dopaminergic areas, the nucleus accumbens septi (a limbic area) and the dorsal caudate nucleus (a subcortical motor area), was studied in freely moving rats by using brain dialysis. Drugs abused by humans (e.g…
