Q

How does dopamine affect movement?

A
  • favors movement via direct pathway

- increases movement

20
Q

Which receptor increases direct pathway activity?

A

D1

21
Q

Which receptor decreases indirect pathway activity?

A

D2

22
Q

Huntington’s

A
  • hyperkinesia
  • lose GABAergic neurons in the striatum
  • no indirect pathway control
23
Q

Parkinson’s

A
  • hypokinesia
  • lose 80% of dopaminergic neurons
  • can’t make switch in activating direct pathway
24

A

excitatory

25
Q

GPi to VLPP is (excitatory/inhibitory)

A

inhibitory

26
Q

VLPP to reticulospinal is (excitatory/inhibitory)

A

inhibitory

Q

GPi to midbrain is (excitatory/inhibitory)

A

inhibitory

28
Q

midbrain to reticulospinal is (excitatory/inhibitory)

A
