A corrigendum on
Relationship Between L-DOPA-Induced Reduction in Motor and Exploratory Activity and Striatal Dopamine D2 Receptor Binding in the Rat

by Nikolaus, S., Beu, M., de Souza Silva, M. A., Huston, J. P., Hautzel, H., Mattern, C., et al. (2016). Front. Behav. Neurosci. 9:352. doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2015.00352

Line 13–19 on p. 5, right column, should read as follows:

“D2 receptor binding relative to baseline amounted to 21 ± 35% after 5 mg/kg L-DOPA/benserazide and to 19 ± 15% after 10 mg/kg L-DOPA/benserazide. Multiplication of percentual decreases by Kexo/Kendo yielded mean increases of synaptic DA by 213 ± 360% after 5 mg/kg L-DOPA/benserazide and by 199 ± 160% after 10 mg/kg L-DOPA/benserazide.”

Likewise, l. 9–14 on p. 13, right column, should read as follows:

“Changes of synaptic DA concentrations were estimated by multiplying the percentual alteration of exogenous ligand binding with the ratio of affinities (Kexo/Kendo), resulting in mean increases of DA by 213 ± 360% after 5 mg/kg and to 199 ± 160% after 10 mg/kg L-DOPA/benserazide.”

This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
