Previous studies using a variety of drugs with different affinities for the dopamine (DA) D3 receptor suggested that this receptor is involved in regulating motor activity and hypothermia. However, the in vivo selectivity of many of these compounds has been repeatedly questioned. To examine the precise roles of the DA D3 receptor in motor activity and hypothermic responses, we used mutant mice lacking the DA D3...
