Midbrain dopamine neurons signal rapid information about rewards and reward‐related
events. It has been suggested that this fast signal may, in fact, be conveyed by co‐released …

We examined thalamic input to striatum in rats using immunolabeling for the vesicular
glutamate transporter (VGLUT2). Double immunofluorescence viewed with confocal laser …

Abstract Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1,‐2, and‐3) mediate the accumulation of
transmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles in glutamatergic neurons. VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 …

The striatum is divided into two compartments named the patch (or striosome) and the
matrix. Although these two compartments can be differentiated by their neurochemical …

Glutamate is the most ubiquitous excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
Glutamate neurotransmission is involved in various brain functions, including motor control …

The caudomedial shell of the rat nucleus accumbens exhibits inhomogeneous distribution
patterns of the vesicular glutamate transporters 1 (VGLUT1) and 2 (VGLUT2). This paper …

The excitability of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra is controlled by the
convergent activity of multiple glutamatergic afferents. Here, we show that vesicular …

The cellular localization of the vesicular glutamate transporter 1, VGLUT1, was studied in the
rat cerebral cortex with immunocytochemical techniques. VGLUT1 immunoreactivity (ir) was …

Most glutamatergic neurons in the brain express one of two vesicular glutamate transporters,
vGlut1 or vGlut2. Cortical glutamatergic neurons highly express vGlut1, whereas vGlut2 …

The neostriatum is known to receive glutamatergic projections from the cerebral cortex and
thalamic nuclei. Vesicular glutamate transporters 1 and 2 (VGluT1 and VGluT2) are located …
