Intermittent sugar access alters DA receptor binding at the level of the striatum. D1 receptor binding (top panel) increases in the NAc core and shell of animals exposed to Daily Intermittent Glucose and Chow (black bars) for 30 days compared with control animals fed chow ad libitum (white bars). D2 receptor binding (bottom panel) decreases in the dorsal striatum in sections from taken the same animals. *p<0.05. From Colantuoni et al., 2001.
