Galantamine plus nomifensine induced the ipsilateral rotation in the 6-OHDA-injected rats.
α4 nAChR highly expressed in dopaminergic terminals of the striatum.
Dihydroxy-β-erythroidine significantly inhibited galantamine-induced rotations.
ABT-418 induced the ipsilateral rotational behavior.
Galantamine possesses the property of the dopamine release through α4 nAChR.
