DRD2 and Anxiety: We also predicted that low levels of Drd2 expression in the VTA would be associated with higher levels of Drd1 expression in the Nacc among offspring of stressed dams fed a WPD, promoting more exploratory and less anxiety-like behavior, whereas higher levels of VTA Drd2 would be associated with lower levels of Nacc Drd1 among offspring of stressed dams fed a SCD, promoting less exploratory and more anxiety-like behavior.
