title: Presence and function of dopamine D1 receptors in the rat ventral tegmental area.
abstract: In the recent years there is a growing number of reports suggesting that dopamine D1 receptors are involved in the phenomenon of sensitization. In this article we are reviewing the data suggesting the crucial role of dopamine D1 receptors, localized in the rat ventral tegmental area in this phenomenon.
