Q

How is dopamine activity terminated, which is primary mechanism?

A

Primarily by reuptake by active transporter located on presynaptic. Second by metabolism by MAO or COMT.

Q

What does dopamine control in the basal ganglia?

A

Particularly in the nigrostriatal pathway, posture, muscle tone, movement coordination. Lack of DA cause EPS.
