Not that it’s necessarily wrong. But I would be very surprised if that were the correct answer.
My vague impression is that there’s an awful lot of genetic micro-management of cell types and receptors and so on for different areas of cortex. So “not expressing a receptor in a cortical area where it’s unused” is (I assume) very easy evolutionarily, and these dopamine receptors are in lots of mammal species I think.
Also, “I’m confused about this” has a pretty high prior for me. I don’t feel obligated to go looking very hard for ways for that not to be true. :-P
LOL! The ultimate cop-out answer!!
