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