The Dopamine/Neuroleptic Receptor [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe neuroleptic/dopamine receptor, with its picomolar affinity for potent neuroleptics, is the functional dopamine receptor of the brain. This receptor has been termed the D2dopamine receptor, and it inhibits or interferes with dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase.

Accumbal glycine modulates basal and ethanol-induced dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens (nAc) as well as voluntary ethanol consumption. Also, systemic administration of the glycine transporter-1 inhibitor Org25935 elevates dopamine levels in nAc ...

Dopamine receptors antagonistically regulate behavioral choice between conflicting alternatives in C. elegans. [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model to study the neuronal or molecular basis for behavioral choice, a specific form of decision-making. Although it has been implied that both D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptors may contribute to the control of ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of GPCRs in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]
Changes in genetic and/or environmental factors to developing neural circuits and subsequent synaptic functions are known to be a causative underlying the varied socio-emotional behavioural patterns associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprising the largest family of cell-surface ...

Blockade of adenosine A2A receptors prevents protein phosphorylation in the striatum induced by cortical stimulation [PDF]
©2006 Society for NeurosciencePrevious studies have shown that cortical stimulation selectively activates extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation and immediate early gene expression in striatal GABAergic enkephalinergic neurons.

ABSTRACT Objective People with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) still experience neurocognitive dysfunction and accelerated brain volume loss. To assess whether the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems are affected, we used [11C]DASB positron emission tomography (PET) to assess presynaptic serotonergic function and [18F]FDOPA PET to measure ...

Cardiovascular Dopamine Receptors: Role of Renal Dopamine and Dopamine Receptors in Sodium Excretion [PDF]
Research efforts in the area of peripheral dopamine have now established the presence of two distinct subtypes--DA1 and DA2--of DA receptors, and have identified a potential role for dopamine produced within the kidney in the control of renal sodium excretion.

Cortical Dopamine Transmission as Measured with the [11C]FLB 457 - Amphetamine PET Imaging Paradigm Is Not Influenced by COMT Genotype. [PDF]
Basic investigations link a Val158Met polymorphism (rs4680) in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene to not only its enzymatic activity, but also to its dopaminergic tone in the prefrontal cortex.
