This current was observed in both tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive and other bulbospinal neurons and was blocked by SKF 86466.
Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) evoked by focal electrical stimulation were isolated by incubation with gabazine and strychnine, and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) were isolated with 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX).

Pretreatment with (R)-HA-966 also significantly protected the degeneration of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the substantia nigra of mice treated with MPTP and alleviated the acute behavioral changes caused by the neurotoxin.

Tyrosine-hydroxylase-immunoreactive (TH-ir) neurons (C1 cells) of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL) control sympathetic tone and may be inhibited by the hypotensive drug clonidine.
Blockade of fast postsynaptic potentials with kynurenic acid plus bicuculline plus strychnine or with a low-Ca (2+)-high-Mg2+ medium failed to reduce their firing rate.

Thirty-five percent of the recorded neurons were found to be tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive (C1 neurons).
The remaining mPSCs had much slower kinetics (decay time = 19.6 ms) and were GABAergic [miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs)] as they were blocked by gabazine (3 microM) but not by strychnine (3-10 microM).

Glutamate receptors, such as the kainate receptor labeled by 3H-kainate, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor by 3H MK801, and the strychnine-insensitive glycine sites in the NMDA receptor by 3H-glycine, increased significantly in various cortical areas of schizophrenic brains.
Measurement of tyrosine hydroxylase activity and dopamine D2 receptor in the schizophrenic brain provided evidence of hyperdopaminergia.
