Presynaptic GABAA receptors control integration of nicotinic input onto dopaminergic axons in the striatum
Brill-Weil et al. show that axonal GABAA receptors regulate excitatory nicotinic input
onto the axons of dopaminergic neurons. This regulation alters integration of the
subthreshold nicotinic input to...

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”
