Gradient of Expression of Dopamine D2 Receptors Along the Dorso-Ventral Axis of the Hippocampus

Dopamine D2-like receptors (D2R) play an important role in the regulation of hippocampal neuronal excitability and contribute to the regulation of synaptic plasticity, the encoding of hippocampus-dependent memories and the regulation of affective state. In line with this, D2R are targeted in the tre...
