Abstract excerpt
The D3 dopamine receptor, belonging to the D2-like receptor subfamily, displays both specific pharmacology and a unique pattern of expression, especially compared to the D1 and D2 receptors. A rat D3 complementary RNA probe labelled with [35S]UTP was used to map the neurons expressing the D3 rece...
