Annotation description:Fig.1: "Activation of D4 receptors reversibly reduced NMDA receptor currents in acutely dissociated PFC pyramidal neurons. "

Fig.2: "Activation of D4 receptors reduced the amplitude of NMDAR-mediated EPSCs in PFC slices but did not change the paired-pulse ratio of NMDAR EPSCs."

Fig.6: "Activation of D4 receptors reduced the NMDAR surface expression and increased the NMDAR internalization in a CaMKII-dependent manner. "
