Dopamine in the dorsal striatum plays a central role in controlling movement.
When released into the synaptic cleft, dopamine transmits signals between neurons — and is then recycled by VMAT2 for future use. VMAT2 inhibitors reduce this recycling, lowering dopamine signaling and helping manage involuntary movements in hyperkinetic disorders.
At Intervoke, we bring mechanisms like this to life through scientifically rigorous, medical animation.
