Abstract excerpt
The adult homozygous weaver mutant mouse (wv/wv) is characterized by a loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway. Quantitative in situ hybridization of three different dopaminergic markers: dopamine membrane transporter (DAT), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) was performed on individual dopaminergic cells of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) and the...
