Publications
Methamphetamine produces bidirectional, concentration-dependent effects on dopamine neuron excitability and dopamine-mediated synaptic currentsSarah Y Branch
Department of Physiology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas 78229, USA
J Neurophysiol 108:802-9. 2012....
Mice selectively bred for high- or low-alcohol-induced locomotion exhibit differences in dopamine neuron functionMichael J Beckstead
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA
J Pharmacol Exp Ther 329:342-9. 2009....
Presynaptic regulation of dendrodendritic dopamine transmissionMichael J Beckstead
Vollum Institute, L474, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR, USA
Eur J Neurosci 26:1479-88. 2007..With increased activity, the release probability decreased and a burst of activity caused a relative facilitation of dopamine release. This form of regulation would be expected to limit activity within the cell body region...
CRF enhancement of GIRK channel-mediated transmission in dopamine neuronsMichael J Beckstead
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Neuropsychopharmacology 34:1926-35. 2009..The results indicate that CRF influences dopamine- and GABA-mediated inhibition in the midbrain, suggesting implications for the chronic actions of psychostimulants and stress on dopamine-mediated behaviors...
Long-term depression of a dopamine IPSCMichael J Beckstead
Vollum Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
J Neurosci 27:2074-80. 2007..Reduced inhibition could increase burst firing and action potential-dependent release of dopamine in terminal regions in vivo...
Kappa opioid inhibition of somatodendritic dopamine inhibitory postsynaptic currentsChristopher P Ford
Vollum Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR 97239, USA
J Neurophysiol 97:883-91. 2007..The results thus demonstrate both pre- and postsynaptic actions of kappa receptor agonists. The actions of dynorphin indicate that VTA dopamine cells are selectively regulated by kappa receptors...
Vesicular dopamine release elicits an inhibitory postsynaptic current in midbrain dopamine neuronsMichael J Beckstead
Vollum Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Neuron 42:939-46. 2004....
