Abstract excerpt
In order to assess the role of dopamine (DA) D2 and D3 receptors in the modulation of behaviour, we analysed exploration in a spatial novelty in mouse model systems. Genetically engineered mice mutants have been used that carry normal, partial or no expression of D2R, D3R, or both D2R/D3R (double mutants) DA receptor subtypes. Adult male mice were exposed for 30 min to a Làte-maze. The behaviour was analysed for...
