Abstract excerpt
The chakragati (ckr) mouse is a transgenic insertional mutant that displays lateralized circling behavior, locomotor hyperactivity, hyperexcitability as well as body weight deficits. The mutation is autosomal and recessive. We have previously found that ckr mice have bilateral asymmetric elevations in striatal dopamine (DA) D2-like (D2, D3 and/or D4), but not D1-like (D1 and/or D5) receptors. Predictably, these...
