Dopamine D-1 and D-2 Receptor Differentiation Revealed by Behavioural Studies in Rats

  • Chapter
Pharmacology and Functional Regulation of Dopaminergic Neurons

Abstract

Using biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioural techniques it has been shown that dopamine (DA) D-1 and D-2 receptors are separate sites with different functions. Depending on the actual behaviour or neuronal population under study these receptors can mediate independent effects or effects which show mutual interactions (see Creese and Fraser, 1987, for reviews). In this chapter some characteristics of D-1 and D-2 agonists with different efficacies will be summarized, using stereotyped behaviour as the experimental model in rats.
