Modulation of mechanosensation by endogenous dopaminergic signaling in the lateral parabrachial nucleus in mice

open access: yesPAIN Reports
. Introduction:. The lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN), a crucial hub for integrating and modulating diverse sensory information, is known to express both D1 and D2 dopamine receptors and receive dopaminergic inputs.

Central interaction of ascorbic acid and D2 dopamine receptors on spatial learning and memory in adult male rats [PDF]

open access: yesThe Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2014
Previous studies had reported that extracellular levels of ascorbic acid have modulatory effects on dopamine receptors. Both ascorbic acid and dopamine receptor have an important role in learning and memory processes.

Tumor suppression and improvement in immune systems by specific activation of dopamine D1-receptor-expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2022
Recent research has suggested that the mesolimbic dopamine network that mainly terminates in the nucleus accumbens may positively control the peripheral immune system.

Cocaine Sensitization: Modulation by Dopamine D2 Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2002
Repeated administration of cocaine progressively increases drug-induced locomotor activity. This study examined the role of dopamine D(1)- and D(2)-like receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mediating these sensitized behaviors. For initiation experiments, animals received bilateral intra-mPFC injections of either saline, the D(1)-like ...

Modulatory Effects of Dopamine D2 Receptors on Spreading Depression in Rat Somatosensory Neocortex

open access: yesBasic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2014
Introduction: Spreading depression (SD) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex.

Heterodimeric D1-D2 dopamine receptors: a review [PDF]

open access: yesBiomeditsinskaya Khimiya, 2017
This review summarizes modern data on the structure and functions ofheteromersformed by D1 and D2 dopamine receptors focusing on their role in the mechanisms of drug dependence. This article discusses potential functional significance of heterodimeric D1-D2 dopamine receptorsdue to their localization in the brain as well as unique pharmacological ...

Pharmacological blockade of dopamine D1- or D2-receptor in the prefrontal cortex induces attentional impairment in the object-based attention test through different neuronal circuits in mice

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter that regulates attention through dopamine D1 and D2-receptors in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We previously developed an object-based attention test (OBAT) to evaluate attention in mice.

Plasma Membrane Compartmentalization of D2 Dopamine Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Plasma membrane microcompartments could allow different signaling pathways to operate more efficiently and prevent cross-talk. We utilized a novel in-cell biotin transfer assay to demonstrate that the majority of plasma membrane-expressed D2 dopamine receptor (D2R) is microcompartmentalized within detergent-resistant structures.

The Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Protein (FTO) Regulates Locomotor Responses to Novelty via D2R Medium Spiny Neurons

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Variations in the human FTO gene have been linked to obesity and altered connectivity of the dopaminergic neurocircuitry. Here, we report that fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in dopamine D2 receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (
