You want to run an experiment that minimizes the acute effects of cocaine on the reward system. You decide to use a tyrosine hydroxylase (enzyme critical for the synthesis of dopamine) inhibitor, which prevents the transcription of the protein. Where would be the best brain region to inject this drug to achieve your desired results?
