Abstract excerpt
The role of the D3 dopamine receptor in mediating the effects of clozapine was analysed using in situ hybridization histochemistry to measure the induction of the immediate early gene c-fos in different brain areas of mice lacking a functional D3 dopamine receptor compared to wild type mice. Clozapine treatment (15 and 30 mg/kg, s.c.) resulted in a dose-dependent pattern of induction of c-fos messenger RNA in the...
