Characterization of Behavioral Phenotypes in Heterozygous DAT Rat Based on Pedigree
Dopamine is an essential neurotransmitter whose key roles include movement control, pleasure and reward, attentional and cognitive skills, and regulation of the sleep/wake cycle. Reuptake is carried out by the dopamine transporter (DAT; DAT1 SLC6A3 gene).

Stable Dopamine-Signaling mRNA Co-Expression in the Substantia Nigra Is Deregulated in Pathological Conditions, but Not in Dopamine Transporter Knockout Rats [PDF]
Dopamine transporter (DAT) mutations are associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases, and DAT gene knockout in rats (DAT-KO) provides an opportunity to evaluate the DAT role in pathological conditions.

Chemogenetic tools for modulation of spatial learning in dopamine transporter deficient rats [PDF]
ObjectivesWe used the chemogenetic tools for the activation of norepinephrine (NE) release in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of dopamine transporter knockout (DAT-KO) rats. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of chemogenetic activation of

Central dopamine plays a key role in sexual behavior. Recently, a Dopamine Transporter knockout (DAT KO) rat has been developed, which displays several behavioral dysfunctions that have been related to increased extracellular dopamine levels and altered ...

Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Early-Life Stress from Grand-Dams Through Paternal Gametes: Impaired Social Cognition and Reduced Reactivity to Aversive Predictors in DAT-HET Rats [PDF]
Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has emerged as a compelling mechanism by which early-life stress can shape behavior in descendants with no direct exposure to trauma.
