There is a growing body of evidence that striosome-matrix dopamine systems are tightly linked with motor and behavioral brain functions and disorders. In this study, we used an immunohistochemical method to show differential expression of the olfactory type G-protein alpha subunit (G alpha olf) that involves in the coupling of dopamine D1 receptor with adenylyl cyclase in the striatal compartments of adult mice, and observed heightened density of G alpha olf labeling in the striosomes relative to the matrix compartment. Our findings suggest that G alpha olf could be one of the key molecules for controlling differential responses of the striosome and matrix compartments to dopamine D1 receptor signaling in the striatum of adult mice.
