Behavioral and biochemical analysis of the effects of stress on brain dopamine (DA) functioning in two inbred strains of mice reveals opposite patterns of adaptation to chronic stress. Chronically stressed mice of the C57BL/6 (C57) strain are characterized by hypersensitive mesolimbic DA autoreceptors and by a dramatic increase of D1/D2 DA receptor ratio (possibly postsynaptic) in the nucleus accumbens septi...
