Mapping the cellular basis of species differences in oxytocin and dopamine receptor expression in the vole nucleus accumbens by Meredith K. Loth, Julia C. Schmidt, Cassandra A. Gonzalez, Liza E. Brusman, Julie M. Sadino, Kelly E. Winther, David S. W. Protter, Zoe R. Donaldson

“…Using multiplex in situ hybridization, we mapped Oxtr, Drd1, and Drd2 expression in sexually naïve and mate-paired prairie and meadow voles. Prairie voles have more Oxtr+ cells than meadow voles, but Oxtr distribution across dopamine-receptor cell class was similar, indicating a general upregulation rather than cell class bias. …”
