Neurobiological correlates of obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD): A narrative review

Ibrain, EarlyView.
Obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and disabling, as well as underdiagnosed, neuropsychiatric condition characterized by involuntary and unwanted obsessions and/or compulsions often accompanied by states of severe anxiety, distress and shame, as well as other comorbid disorders. Despite the extensive literature available to date, only some

Distinct roles of presynaptic dopamine receptors in the differential modulation of the intrinsic synapses of medium-spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens

BMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background In both schizophrenia and addiction, pathological changes in dopamine release appear to induce alterations in the circuitry of the nucleus accumbens that affect coordinated thought and motivation. Dopamine acts principally on medium-spiny GABA

Central dopamine D2 receptors regulate plasma glucose levels in mice through autonomic nerves

Scientific Reports, 2020
Recent evidence suggests that the central nervous system (CNS) regulates plasma glucose levels, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. The present study investigated the role of dopaminergic function in the CNS in regulation of plasma glucose levels in

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]

, 2004
Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release.

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Modulation of Adenylyl Cyclase Activity in Rat Striatal Homogenate by Dopaminergic Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
We have characterized the modulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity by ligands of dopaminergic receptors in rat striatal homogenate and compared the results with receptor-ligand binding affinities.

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

Molecular 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.

A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]

, 2017
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

Clinical, manometric, genetic, and histologic associations in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction: A case series

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO) is a severe bowel motility disorder characterized by impaired propulsion of gastrointestinal contents without mechanical obstruction. PIPO encompasses congenital and acquired disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, and mesenchymopathies.

Pramipexole Upregulates Dopamine Receptor D2 and D3 Expression in Rat Striatum

Journal 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.
