Hmm,
I am not entirely sure. I think that it is dependant on the region. The study says that other MAOI antdidepressants (phenylzine) induced a decrease in the density of d1 d2 receptors in the stratium.
It does not mention the effects on the d1 d2 receptors in the neucleus accumbens.
For instance the below study suggests that AD treatment increases dopamine d1/d2 receptor density in the neucleus accumbens, but decreased the level of dopamine in the NAA.

It might be necessary to find how deprenyl affects d1/d2 receptor binding in the NAA specifically.
