Sex-dependent alterations in behavior, drug responses and dopamine transporter expression in heterozygous DAT-Cre mice
Abstract Heterozygous mice that express Cre-recombinase under the dopamine transporter promoter (DAT-Cre knock in mice, or KI) are widely used for targeting midbrain dopamine neurons, under the assumption that their constitutive physiology is not affected. We report here that these mice display stri...
