Abstract excerpt
Dopamine D(1) receptors are expressed in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, suggesting a role in cognition. Dopamine D(1) receptor-deficient mice (D(1)-/-) were used to investigate the role of this receptor in spatial learning and memory. Using the Morris water maze, mice were trained to locate a hidden platform. Subsequently, the platform was removed from the maze and mice were scored for the percentage of...
