Abstract
An in situ hybridization procedure that identifies cells expressing D2 dopamine receptor mRNA was combined in double-labelling studies with immunohistochemical procedures that identify cells expressing either c holine acetyltransferase (ChAT) or somatostatin. D2 receptor mRNA was detected in almost all of the ChAT positive caudate-putamen cells, app roximately half of the ChAT positive nucleus accumbens cells and none of the somatostatin-positive cells in either brain region.
