The paper investigates the role of astrocytic GABA transporters in regulating dopamine release in the striatum and shows their downregulation in early parkinsonism.

This study shows that loss of Tsc1 in midbrain dopamine neurons leads to structural and functional defects, causing cognitive flexibility deficits that can be mitigated by reducing Raptor.

The paper investigates short-term plasticity in dopamine release in the striatum, finding that it is primarily governed by axonal properties and the dopamine transporter rather than initial release levels.
