The striatum is regulated by dopaminergic inputs from the substantia nigra. Several anatomical studies using in situ hybridization have demonstrated that in rodents, dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are segregated into distinct striatal efferent populations: dopamine D1 receptor into gamma-aminobutyric
Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) is an effector immediate early gene product implicated in long-term potentiation and other forms of neuroplasticity. Earlier studies demonstrated Arc induction in discrete brain regions by several psychoactive substances, including drugs of ab
Dopamine D(4) receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) are thought to play a key role in mediating the locomotor and sensitizing affects of psychostimulants, as well as the therapeutic efficacy of atypical antipsychotic drugs. We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to determine the
