Incentive learning underlying cocaine relapse requires mGluR5 receptors located on dopamine D1 receptor-expressing neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding the psychobiological basis of relapse remains a challenge in developing therapies for drug addiction. Relapse in cocaine addiction often occurs following exposure to environmental stimuli previously associated with drug taking.

A Spatially Resolved View on the Aging Substantia nigra: An Exploratory Proteomic Study

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Although aging is the most important risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular effects of physiological aging are still understudied. By applying spatially‐resolved proteomic analyses of the human substantia nigra pars compacta, alterations in vesicular trafficking and mitochondrial proteins are observed, as well as reduced ...

Preservation of dendritic D2 receptor transmission in substantia nigra dopamine neurons with age

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopamine neurons are required for voluntary movement and reward learning, and advanced age is associated with motor and cognitive decline.

Dopamine D4 Receptors

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Pharmacology, 2000
Initial investigations on dopamine D4 receptors generated much interest in the role of this receptor in schizophrenia and other aspects of human behavior, as well as new opportunities for novel therapeutics. However, attempts to treat patients suffering from schizophrenia with dopamine D4 agents have failed to yield satisfactory results so far.

Nanofillers Reinforcing Biopolymer Composites for Sustainable Food Packaging Applications: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biopolymers are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to petroleum‐based plastics for food packaging. Its adoption is often limited by poor mechanical strength, barrier properties, and improved thermal stability through the incorporation of nanofillers.

D1 Dopamine Receptor Activation Induces Neuronal eEF2 Pathway-Dependent Protein Synthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
Dopamine, alongside other neuromodulators, defines brain and neuronal states, inter alia through regulation of global and local mRNA translation. Yet, the signaling pathways underlying the effects of dopamine on mRNA translation and psychiatric disorders

Dopamine-modulated dynamic cell assemblies generated by the GABAergic striatal microcircuit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The striatum, the principal input structure of the basal ganglia, is crucial to both motor control and learning. It receives convergent input from all over the neocortex, hippocampal formation, amygdala and thalamus, and is the primary recipient of ...

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Pramipexole Upregulates Dopamine Receptor D2 and D3 Expression in Rat Striatum

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Randomized clinical trials have shown that pramipexole has an antidepressant effect in patients with Parkinson’s disease. We investigated the comparative efficacy of pramipexole toward dopamine receptor D2 and D3 expression in rat brain.

Role of serotonin via 5-HT2B receptors in the reinforcing effects of MDMA in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The amphetamine derivative 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) reverses dopamine and serotonin transporters to produce efflux of dopamine and serotonin, respectively, in regions of the brain that have been implicated in reward. However, the
