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.
