Read our Nature paper revealing an unexpected role for adenosine on PKA signaling in the striatum
Locomotion activates PKA through dopamine and adenosine in striatal neurons.

“Our results suggest that acute adenosine accumulation interplays with dopamine release to orchestrate protein kinase A (PKA) activity in striatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs) and proper striatal function during animal locomotion.”
Congrats to Lei and the rest of the team!
