  • The RNA probes used were; oprm1 (MOR), drd1 (D1 receptor), drd2 (D2 receptor), and ChAT (cholineacetyltransferase) in flMOR, D1-, D2-, A2a-, and ChAT-flMOR lines. The qPCR probes used were oprm1 (MOR), drd1 (D1 receptor), drd2 (D2 receptor) in flMOR, D1-, D2-, A2a-, and ChAT-flMOR lines. RNA ISH: RNA in situ hybridization, N.S.: not significant, N.A: not applicable
