Such immunohistochemical studies were performed for the angiotensin II receptor subtypes ATj and AT2 in rat adrenal gland [48] and in the heart of rabbits [57], for the metabotropic glutamate receptor in rat piriform cortex [58], for serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT3 receptors in inhibitory circuits of the primate cerebral cortex [59], and for the dopamine Dj and D2 as well as M4 muscarinic receptor in striatonigral neurons [60].
