The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

Developing the Dopamine D3 Receptor (D3R) Antagonist, (R)‐VK4‐116, as a Non‐Opioid Medication for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a major global health challenge, and currently approved treatments (methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) are all opioid receptor‐targeting drugs with limitations in access, adherence, stigma, and use in polysubstance use disorders. Because the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is enriched in limbic brain regions

Probing Cortical Sites of Antipsychotic Drug Action with in vivo Receptor Imaging

Behavioural Neurology, 2000
Imaging receptors using radioactive ligands has allowed direct determination of the sites of action of antipsychotic drugs. Initial studies relating antipsychotic drug efficacy to action at striatal dopamine D2-like receptors have recently been ...

Dopamine: The Essential Bridge Mediating Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hippocampus‐Dependent Learning and Memory Impairments

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea is a clinical syndrome that triggers a series of pathophysiologic changes, including disturbed sleep architecture, chronic intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, and ultimately severe cognitive dysfunction. The hippocampus plays a key role in various cognitive processes such as learning and memory.

Regulation of Fear Extinction in the Basolateral Amygdala by Dopamine D2 Receptors Accompanied by Altered GluR1, GluR1-Ser845 and NR2B Levels

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017
The amygdala, a critical structure for both Pavlovian fear conditioning and fear extinction, receives sparse but comprehensive dopamine innervation and contains dopamine D1 and D2 receptors.

Gambling disorder in late life: A systematic review of behavioral patterns, clinical correlates, and psychotherapeutic interventions

The American Journal on Addictions, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Gambling in older adults represents an emerging but still underrecognized mental health concern. Although gambling participation is increasingly observed in later life, the specific psychological, social, cognitive, and biological factors associated with gambling‐related problems in older adults remain insufficiently ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐
