Dopamine genetic risk score predicts impulse control behaviors in Parkinson’s disease
Introduction: Up to 40% of Parkinson’s disease patients taking dopamine agonist medication develop impulse control behaviors which can have severe negative consequences.

Dopamine D_2-receptor activation elicits akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and tremor in mice expressing hypersensitive 4 nicotinic receptors via a cholinergic-dependent mechanism [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α4 and β2 subunits (α4β2*) functionally interact with G-protein-coupled dopamine (DA) D_2 receptors in basal ganglia.

Dopamine Agonists in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
ABSTRACTDopamine agonists have yielded two important advances to our understanding of the basal ganglia – they have facilitated the subdivision of different classes of dopamine receptors, and they have established the fact that important dopaminergic effects can be achieved by activation of dopamine receptors in a manner that is unrelated to anoxal ...

Generation of Neural Organoids and Their Application in Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine
Neural organoids provide a versatile platform for neurological research. Advances in organoid technology have partially achieved human neural tissue complexity in terms of tissue structure, cell diversity, and neural signaling, offering insights into neural disorders and regenerative strategies. Technology advances from biomaterials, bio‐manufacturing,

Purpose Elevated dopamine synthesis capacity is part of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia thought to underlie psychosis. Drugs that reduce this phenomenon could thus be potential treatments for these disorders.

Cabergoline-induced mania in a patient of pituitary microadenoma
Cabergoline, a dopamine agonist agent, is commonly used in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, Parkinson's disease, restless leg syndrome, and antipsychotic-induced prolactin elevation.

Levo-Tetrahydropalmatine Attenuates Cocaine Self-Administration under a Progressive-Ratio Schedule and Cocaine Discrimination in Rats [PDF]
Levo-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP) is an alkaloid found in many traditional Chinese herbal preparations and has a unique pharmacological profile that includes dopamine receptor antagonism.

This work identifies a novel mechanism by which dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) contributes to the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid (GC)‐associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) through the regulation of osteoblastic apoptosis, indicating that DRD1 serves as a critical mediator of the crosstalk between the nervous and skeletal systems.

Bidirectional Interaction Between the Brain and Bone in Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the blood–brain barrier and activates neuroimmune responses, causing metabolic disturbances and long‐term bone mass loss. Concurrent fractures accelerate healing and enhance osteogenesis but disrupt regulatory mechanisms, leading to altered bone dynamics and exacerbating neuroinflammation, complicating recovery ...
