Abstract
The present article reviews our recent biochemical and microdialysis studies showing the evidence for an antagonistic CCKB/D2 receptor interaction in the regulation of dopaminergic transmission in the nucleus accumbens and GABAergic transmission in the ipsilateral ventral pallidum. Since the nucleus accumbens plays a crucial role in regulating the output from the limbic system and consequently motivation, it may be speculated that a dysregulation of this receptor interaction may have consequences in a wide range of central nervous system disorders.
