DI-R
D1 receptor is direct (stim)

Direct path
cortex and D from substantia nigra pars compacta stim D1 R in striatum. ACh stims GABA, substance P, which inhibit globus pallidus internus and sunstantia nigra pars reticulata, which inhibits thalamus and stims cortex
increases motion. loss of dopamine results in decreased motion
Indirect path
cortex stims striatum but D from SNc inhibits via D2, leads to Ach which inhibits GABA and enkephalin, which inhibits GPe, which inhibits subthalamic nucleus, which stims GPi, which inhibits thal which stims cortex
normally, inhibiting inhibitory pathway leads to more motion so loss of dopamine leads to inhibition and less motion
