Description:
The subthalamic nucleus, a clinically important component of the extrapyramidal motor system, and a lateral area extending into the peduncle contain catecholamine terminals and dopamine receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase. In addition, dopamine agonists administered in vivo enhance glucose utilization in the region. Thus, neuronal function in this region is directly affected by dopamine and dopaminergic drugs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brown, L L -- Markman, M H -- Wolfson, L I -- Dvorkin, B -- Warner, C -- Katzman, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Dec 21;206(4425):1416-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/505015" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
