title: Dendritic release of dopamine in the substantia nigra.
abstract: Dopamine can be released in the substantia nigra for the dendrites of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurones, to be involved there in the self-regulation of the dopaminergic cells, to control the release of neurotransmitters from nigral afferent fibres and to influence the activity of nigral non-dopaminergic cells.
