act(p(HGNC:CHRNA7, loc(GO:"glutamatergic synapse"))) regulates bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, dopaminergic")
Other levels of regulation of dopaminergic transmission arise from alpha7 nAChRs located on cortical glutamatergic terminals; activation of these receptors increases glutamate release onto dopaminergic neurons in the VTA and, consequently, increases the their firing (344).
