摘要:
By combining immunocytochemistry for ChAT and in situ hybridization for dopamine D-1 or D-2 receptor mRNA in the striatum, it was found that (1) the percentage of ChAT/D-2 mRNA co-localization is higher in the caudate-putamen than in the shell and core of the nucleus accumbens, (2) in the shell the degree of ChAT/D, mRNA co-localization is higher rostrally than caudally, and 3) no significant regional differences exist in the degree of co-localization of ChAT and D-1 mRNA.
