In the INDIRECT pathway, glutamate release from motor cortex neurons in the striatum, ultimately [4] neurons whose cell bodies are in the thalamus to [5] movement. In the indirect pathway, the release of dopamine from the substantia nigra (SNc) [6] neurons in striatum that express the D2 receptor. This dopamine release makes neurons in the thalamus [7] to fire an action potential. Thus, in the indirect pathway the release of dopamine from the substantia nigra [8] movement.
