Synaptic enrichment and dynamic regulation of the two opposing dopamine receptors within the same neurons [PDF]
eLifeDopamine can play opposing physiological roles depending on the receptor subtype. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, Dop1R1 and Dop2R encode the D1- and D2-like receptors, respectively, and are reported to oppositely regulate intracellular cAMP ...

Dopamine in Health and Disease: Much More Than a Neurotransmitter
Biomedicines, 2021 Dopamine is derived from an amino acid, phenylalanine, which must be obtained through the diet. Dopamine, known primarily to be a neurotransmitter involved in almost any higher executive action, acts through five types of G-protein-coupled receptors ...

Decoding the dopamine signal in macaque prefrontal cortex: a simulation study using the Cx3Dp simulator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Dopamine transmission in the prefrontal cortex plays an important role in reward based learning, working memory and attention. Dopamine is thought to be released non-synaptically into the extracellular space and to reach distant receptors through ...

Evolution of dopamine receptors: phylogenetic evidence suggests a later origin of the DRD2l and DRD4rs dopamine receptor gene lineages [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Dopamine receptors are integral membrane proteins whose endogenous ligand is dopamine. They play a fundamental role in the central nervous system and dysfunction of dopaminergic neurotransmission is responsible for the generation of a variety of ...

Dystonia: sparse synapses for D2 receptors in striatum of a DYT1 knock-out mouse model [PDF]
, 2020 Dystonia pathophysiology has been partly linked to downregulation and dysfunction of dopamine D2 receptors in striatum. We aimed to investigate the possible morpho-structural correlates of D2 receptor downregulation in the striatum of a DYT1 Tor1a mouse ...
