D1 binding D2 binding D2:D1 Ratio
CPu 685.12 ± 33.88 146.67 ± 12.42 0.212 ± 0.010
ACb.c 611.21 ± 36.39 87.34 ± 8.93 0.148 ± 0.020
ACb.s 748.74 ± 43.83 91.51 ± 9.65 0.127 ± 0.017
Tu 755.74 ± 50.82 110.82 ± 11.58 0.147 ± 0.014
mPOA 11.23 ± 7.27 7.907 ± 5.43 0.663 ± 0.082

All values are mean fmol/mg of tissue ± 1 SE, n=8 per group except mPOA where n=7.

CPu, caudate putamen; ACb.c, nucleus accumbens core; ACb.s, nucleus accumbens shell; Tu, olfactory tubercle; mPOA, medial preoptic area.
