Dopamine receptor binding enhancement accompanies lesion-induced behavioral supersensitivity

Dopamine receptor binding enhancement accompanies lesion-induced behavioral supersensitivity

I Creese et al. Science. .

Abstract

The binding of [3H]haloperidol to rat striatal dopamine receptors increases after lesion (made by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine) of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway in those rats which are behaviorally supersensitive, as reflected by apomorphine-induced contralateral rotations. The enhanced binding is associated with an increased number of receptor sites with no change in their affinity.
