Purkinje cell dopaminergic inputs to astrocytes regulate cerebellar-dependent behavior
Nature Communications, 2023 The role of dopamine in the cerebellum remains relatively unexplored. Here, the authors report a dopamine system in the cerebellum in mice, where Purkinje cells supply dopamine and Bergmann glia express D1 receptors.
