Dual role of dopamine D2-like receptors in the mediation of conditioned and unconditioned fear [PDF]
A reduction of dopamine release or D2 receptor blockade in the terminal fields of the mesolimbic system, particularly the amygdala, clearly reduces conditioned fear.

Cocaine-induced adaptation of dopamine D2S, but not D2L autoreceptors
The dopamine D2 receptor has two splice variants, D2S (Short) and D2L (Long). In dopamine neurons, both variants can act as autoreceptors to regulate neuronal excitability and dopamine release, but the roles of each variant are incompletely characterized.

Tonic inhibition of accumbal spiny neurons by extrasynaptic 4 GABAA receptors modulates the actions of psychostimulants [PDF]
Within the nucleus accumbens (NAc), synaptic GABAA receptors (GABAARs) mediate phasic inhibition of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) and influence behavioral responses to cocaine.

Beta band (12–30 Hz) hypersynchrony within the basal ganglia-thalamocortical network has been suggested as a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathophysiology. Abnormal beta band oscillations are found in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and primary
