Mirtazapine decreases stimulatory effects of reboxetine on cortisol, adrenocorticotropin and prolactin secretion in healthy male subjects [PDF]
Reboxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, whereas mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at noradrenergic alpha(2), serotonin (5-HT2), 5-HT3 and histamine H-1 receptors.

ヘキサナール刺激でドーパミンを放出した PC12 細胞のドーパミンの再蓄積作用 [PDF]
すべての食品に匂い(香り)がある.食品に含まれる匂い(香り)物質は,食品中の栄養素と同様に体内に取り込まれ,生理作用を示すと考えている. ヘキサナールは炭素数6 の直鎖アルデヒドであり,植物特有の新鮮な香りを構成している物質の1 つである. これまでに,私たちは,ヘキサナールがラット脳線条体切片及びラット副腎褐色細胞腫(PC12)細胞からのドーパミン放出を促進することを報告している. ドーパミンを放出した細胞は,次の刺激に応答するために,細胞内にドーパミンを再蓄積する必要がある. 本研究では ...

Advances in studying phasic dopamine signaling in brain reward mechanisms [PDF]
The last sixty years of research has provided extraordinary advances of our knowledge of the reward system. Since its discovery as a neurotransmitter by Carlsson and colleagues (1), dopamine (DA) has emerged as an important mediator of reward processing.

Mechanistic Insights into the Stimulant Properties of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and Their Discrimination by the Dopamine Transporter-In Silico and In Vitro Exploration of Dissociative Diarylethylamines [PDF]
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) may have unsuspected addiction potential through possessing stimulant properties. Stimulants normally act at the dopamine transporter (DAT) and thus increase dopamine (DA) availability in the brain, including nucleus ...

Sun et al. uncover a novel dopamine transmission pathway: the membrane potential or action potential firings not only trigger dopamine release, but also modulate dopamine release by directly targeting voltage‐sensitive D2 receptor via the voltage‐sensing site D131, mediating the facilitation of voltage‐gated calcium channels, thus tuning dopamine ...

Cholinergic Modulation of Locomotion and Striatal Dopamine Release Is Mediated by α6α4* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) release in striatum is governed by firing rates of midbrain DA neurons, striatal cholinergic tone, and nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on DA presynaptic terminals.

What causes aberrant salience in schizophrenia? A role for impaired short-term habituation and the GRIA1 (GluA1) AMPA receptor subunit. [PDF]
The GRIA1 locus, encoding the GluA1 (also known as GluRA or GluR1) AMPA glutamate receptor subunit, shows genome-wide association to schizophrenia. As well as extending the evidence that glutamatergic abnormalities have a key role in the disorder, this ...
