Dorsomedial striatal Bmal1 deletion in medium spiny neurons alters EPSCs and dendritic morphology after chronic exposure to alcohol in female mice
Circadian clock genes in the striatum modulate alcohol drinking behavior in female mice, but the underlying synaptic mechanisms remain unknown. Medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum express D1- or D2-type dopamine receptors, which are differentially modulated by alcohol. Here we used whole-cell patch-clamp record...
