The dopaminergic innervation as observed by immunohistochemistry using anti-dopamine serum in the rat cerebral cortex

Experientia. 1988 Aug 15;44(8):700-2. doi: 10.1007/BF01941033.

Abstract

By using an antiserum raised against dopamine bound to bovine serum albumin, thinner dopamine-labeled nerve terminals were visualized immunohistochemically within neocortical areas, in addition to well-documented dopaminergic innervation into the prefrontal and limbic cortices.
