Evaluation of D1 and D2 dopamine receptor segregation in the developing striatum using BAC transgenic mice.
The striatum is predominantly composed of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) that send their axons along two parallel pathways known as the direct and indirect pathways. MSNs from the direct pathway express high levels of D1 dopamine receptors, while MSNs from the indirect pathway express high levels of D2...
