Dopamine Release Dynamics in the Tuberoinfundibular Dopamine System [PDF]
The relationship between neuronal impulse activity and neurotransmitter release remains elusive. This issue is especially poorly understood in the neuroendocrine system, with its particular demands on periodically voluminous release of neurohormones at the interface of axon terminals and vasculature.

Synaptotagmin-1 is the Ca2+ sensor for fast striatal dopamine release
Dopamine powerfully controls neural circuits through neuromodulation. In the vertebrate striatum, dopamine adjusts cellular functions to regulate behaviors across broad time scales, but how the dopamine secretory system is built to support fast and slow ...

Mâ‚… muscarinic receptors mediate striatal dopamine activation by ventral tegmental morphine and pedunculopontine stimulation in mice. [PDF]
Opiates, like other addictive drugs, elevate forebrain dopamine levels and are thought to do so mainly by inhibiting GABA neurons near the ventral tegmental area (VTA), in turn leading to a disinhibition of dopamine neurons.

Renal failure often manifests as oliguria. Many therefore view oliguria as a sinister development that should be prevented or treated in the hope of avoiding renal failure. However, oliguria can be a normal physiological response and, in itself, is a poor predictor of acute renal failure.1 2 Nevertheless, dopamine infusions have gained popularity over ...

Dissociable dopamine dynamics for learning and motivation.
The dopamine projection from ventral tegmental area (VTA) to nucleus accumbens (NAc) is critical for motivation to work for rewards and reward-driven learning. How dopamine supports both functions is unclear.

Ultrafast neuronal imaging of dopamine dynamics with designed genetically encoded sensors
Imaging dopamine release in the brain Neuromodulator release alters the function of target circuits in poorly known ways. An essential step to address this knowledge gap is to measure the dynamics of neuromodulatory signals while simultaneously ...

Specialized coding of sensory, motor, and cognitive variables in VTA dopamine neurons
There is increased appreciation that dopamine neurons in the midbrain respond not only to reward1 and reward-predicting cues1,2, but also to other variables such as the distance to reward3, movements4–9 and behavioural choices10,11. An important question

Testosterone induces molecular changes in dopamine signaling pathway molecules in the adolescent male rat nigrostriatal pathway. [PDF]
Adolescent males have an increased risk of developing schizophrenia, implicating testosterone in the precipitation of dopamine-related psychopathology.

The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia: version III--the final common pathway.
The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia has been one of the most enduring ideas in psychiatry. Initially, the emphasis was on a role of hyperdopaminergia in the etiology of schizophrenia (version I), but it was subsequently reconceptualized to specify ...

Midbrain dopamine signals are widely thought to report reward prediction errors that drive learning in the basal ganglia. However, dopamine has also been implicated in various probabilistic computations, such as encoding uncertainty and controlling exploration.
