Abstract
1. Dopamine was found in the tortoise brain; the highest concentration (3·7 μg/g) occurred in a region of the telencephalon containing the nucleus basalis and cortex olfactoria. This region may be considered similar to the mammalian and avian corpus striatum with respect to dopamine.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
