Abstract:We used in situ autoradiographic ligand binding methods to determine the occurrence and distribution of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor sub-types in the anole lizard, Anolis carolinensis. Both were present and exhibited pharmacological specificity characteristics similar to those described for mammals. However, unlike in mammals where in the neostriatum [outside the nucleus accumbens/olfactory tubercle complex (NA/OT)] these receptors exhibit only slight dorsolateral (D2 high, D Show more
