A list of all neurons that have been indicated as using the neurotransmitter "Dopamine".
- This table is generated programmatically from the property "neurotransmitter" assigned to members of the Neuron class. To add to this list, go to the category page for the type of neuron you are interested in adding and add "Dopamine" to the "Has Neurotransmitter" field in the Petilla form.

| Neurotransmitter | Synonym | Definition | Located in | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aplysia buccal 20 | Dopamine | pattern initiating neuron. Biases feeding motor patterns to rejection type. | Aplysia buccal ganglia | |
| Olfactory bulb (accessory) glomerular layer cell | GABA Dopamine |
Glomerular layer cell periglomerular cell |
Small intrinsic neuron in the glomerular layer of the accessory olfactory bulb, with cell bodies surrounding the olfactory glomerulus. Equivalent to the periglomerular cell of the main olfactory bulb, but the glomeruli are less clearly differentiated. The cell body is 6-8 um in diameter, from which arises a short bushy dendrite that arborizes within a glomerulus, where it receives synaptic input from olfactory receptor cell axon terminals, and engages in dendrodendritic interactions with mitral/tufted cell dendrites. The axon distributes laterally within the extraglomerular region. Shepherd, Chen, Greer. Olfactory bulb.

| Olfactory bulb (main) periglomerular cell | GABA Dopamine |
Periglomerular neuron Olfactory bulb periglomerular cell |
Small intrinsic neuron in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb, with cell bodies surrounding the olfactory glomerulus. The cell body is 6-8 um in diameter, from which arises a short bushy dendrite that arborizes within a glomerulus, where it receives synaptic input from olfactory receptor cell axon terminals, and engages in dendrodendritic interactions with mitral/tufted cell dendrites. Occasionally, bitufted PG cells connected to two glomeruli are seen. The axon distributes laterally within the extraglomerular region, extending as far as 5-10 glomeruli away. Some PG cells appear to lack axons. Subtypes may be identified based on their biochemical constituents. | Olfactory bulb main glomerular layer |

| Retina amacrine cell | GABA Glycine Dopamine |
Amacrine Neuron type II Type II Amacrine cell |
Cell in the inner plexiform layer of the retina, consisting of multiple dendrites and no axon. It makes synaptic connections with bipolar cell terminals and ganglion cell dendrites, as well as other amacrine cell dendrites. Amacrine II cells have gap junctions with bipolar terminals and other amacrine cells, which are switched on for night time vision. | Retina inner plexiform layer |
