Dopamine D1 receptors (D1R) and muscarinic M4 receptors (M4R) regulate overlapping functions in the cortex and the striatum, but the cellular relationship between D1R- and M4R-associated populations across brain regions remains incompletely defined. Using D1R-tdTomato/M4R-EGFP double-reporter mice, we quantified tdTomato-only, EGFP-only, and coexpressing cellular populations across the dorsal striatum, nucleus accumbens, and medial prefrontal cortex in 18 animals. Reporter composition differed strongly by anatomical region. Coexpression was prominent throughout the dorsal striatum and greatest in the dorsomedial striatum, whereas the nucleus accumbens shifted toward greater tdTomato-only and reduced EGFP-only representation, particularly in the core. In contrast, the medial prefrontal cortex was dominated by EGFP-only cells. These regional patterns were broadly retained across sex and age. HCR-FISH further supported spatial correspondence between endogenous Drd1 and Chrm4 transcript signal and the respective fluorescent reporters. Together, these findings demonstrate region-dependent organization of D1R- and M4R-associated cellular populations across the cortex and striatum and define distinct anatomical contexts in which M4R-directed signaling may influence D1R-associated neurons.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
