“…Considering this, it is possible that some TH cells of the extended amygdala are monoenzymatic or bienzymatic. This is suggested to be the case for TH-ir cells of the vole medial amygdala (Ahmed et al 2012). Moreover, in the medial extended amygdala of mouse there are pools of cells expressing TH mRNA that appear to lack the protein (present results).…”

“…Taken together, the presence of TH, dopamine, and vMAT2 in these ZI neurons suggests that these neurons package and release dopamine for neurotransmission. The detection of TH and dopamine immunoreactivity also suggests that these neurons probably express aromatic l ‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC; EC 4.1.1.28; Lovenberg, Weissbach, & Udenfriend, ), which has been shown in ZI neurons of the prairie vole (Ahmed, Northcutt, & Lonstein, ), and that both AADC and TH are catalytically active for dopamine synthesis.…”

“…However, they are responsive to the social environment and activated by mating (Cavanaugh and Lonstein, 2010; Northcutt and Lonstein, 2009). Additionally, these TH-ir neurons lack the other requisite enzymes for dopamine biosynthesis, suggesting that their projections to the MPOA may preferentially release L-DOPA or other trace amines (Ahmed et al, 2011; Northcutt et al, 2006; Northcutt and Lonstein, 2011; Ugrumov, 2009). Trace amine receptors inhibit dopamine neurotransmission (Lindemann et al, 2008), which in the MPOA would suppress sexual motivation and copulation in males (Hull and Dominguez, 2006) and block cyclicity in females (MacKenzie et al, 1988).…”
