Abstract excerpt
Mice that carry the autosomal recessive gene weaver show a distinctive loss of nigrostriatal dopamine innervation, with the greatest deficits in the dorsal caudate-putamen and almost complete sparing in the nucleus accumbens and ventral caudate. In addition to loss of dopamine in this model, it has recently been shown that markers of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) innervation including 5-HT content,...
