D2 receptor ablation in indirect‐pathway striatal neurons reduces or abolishes dyskinetic and dystonic behaviors induced by L‐DOPA or D2 receptor agonists, respectively. Contralateral turning is reduced, while forward locomotion is increased. These effects are associated with modulation of neuronal activity in dorsal striatum and external globus ...
