Depression of Serotonin Synaptic Transmission by the Dopamine Precursor L-DOPA
Imbalance between the dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter systems has been implicated in the comorbidity of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and psychiatric disorders.

Structure of a D2 dopamine receptor-G protein complex in a lipid membrane
The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) is a therapeutic target for Parkinson’s disease 1 and antipsychotic drugs 2 . DRD2 is activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine and synthetic agonist drugs such as bromocriptine 3 , leading to stimulation of G ...

Al3+ competes with Fe3+ for transferrin (Tf) binding and enters cells via transferrin receptor (TfR)‐mediated endocytosis, disrupting cellular iron homeostasis. Intracellular vesicle impact electrochemical cytometry (IVIEC) and single‐cell amperometry (SCA), which record the oxidation of dopamine, reveal increased neurotransmitter storage and ...

Cocaine-induced adaptation of dopamine D2S, but not D2L autoreceptors
The dopamine D2 receptor has two splice variants, D2S (Short) and D2L (Long). In dopamine neurons, both variants can act as autoreceptors to regulate neuronal excitability and dopamine release, but the roles of each variant are incompletely characterized.

Haloperidol bound D2 dopamine receptor structure inspired the discovery of subtype selective ligands
The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) is one of the most well-established therapeutic targets for neuropsychiatric and endocrine disorders. Most clinically approved and investigational drugs that target this receptor are known to be subfamily-selective for all

Antipsychotic Induced Dopamine Receptor Supersensitivity and It’s Clinical Implications
Background : Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that requires multi-modal and continuous treatment, mainly with antipsychotic. Along with the increasing life expectancy of schizophrenic patients, various problems due to prolonged blocking of ...

Tonic inhibition of accumbal spiny neurons by extrasynaptic 4 GABAA receptors modulates the actions of psychostimulants [PDF]
Within the nucleus accumbens (NAc), synaptic GABAA receptors (GABAARs) mediate phasic inhibition of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) and influence behavioral responses to cocaine.

Molecular dynamics of dopamine at the D2 receptor. [PDF]
A three-dimensional model of the dopamine D2 receptor, assumed to be a target of antipsychotic drug action, was constructed from its amino acid sequence. The model was based on structural similarities within the super-family of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory (G) protein-coupled neuroreceptors and has seven alpha-helical transmembrane segments ...
