Absence of testes at puberty impacts functional development of nigrostriatal but not mesoaccumbal dopamine terminals in a wild-derived mouse

Jaewan Mun, Samantha Jackson, George S. Prounis…·Linda Wilbrecht

This study investigates how prepubertal gonadectomy affects dopamine release in the nigrostriatal and mesoaccumbal systems of wild-derived mice, finding reduced release in the nigrostriatal system but not the mesoaccumbal.
