Parkinson's disease under dopamine replacement therapy as a human framework for studying addiction‐relevant mechanisms

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Addiction is a chronic relapsing condition characterized by compulsive reward seeking and impaired behavioral control, associated with major individual and societal burden. Mechanistic investigation in humans remains constrained by ethical limitations, uncontrolled exposure histories, and ecological confounds.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors mediate sustained sympathoexcitation during high altitude hypoxia in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Psychotropic medication and the fetal brain

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Brain region changes linked to in‐utero psychotropic exposure. Abstract Medications known to cross the blood–brain barrier (psychotropic medications) are commonly prescribed to women during pregnancy, often for the management of mental illness.

Elevated Plasma DISC1 Levels Are Associated With Motivational Deficits in Medication‐Free Patients With Major Depressive Disorder: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesPsyCh Journal, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Disrupted‐in‐Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) has been implicated in major psychiatric disorders, but the relationship between circulating DISC1 protein and dimensional motivation and pleasure‐related features in major depressive disorder (MDD) is unknown.

Dopamine-driven increase in IL-1β in myeloid cells is mediated by differential dopamine receptor expression and exacerbated by HIV

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation
The catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine is classically known for regulation of central nervous system (CNS) functions such as reward, movement, and cognition. Increasing evidence also indicates that dopamine regulates critical functions in peripheral

Muscarinic agonists for schizophrenia: Bridging preclinical evidence and clinical enthusiasm

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 19, Page 5701-5731, October 2026.
Abstract Antipsychotic drugs targeting dopamine receptors have been used to treat schizophrenia for decades, primarily alleviating positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. However, they provide limited benefit for cognitive and negative symptoms—major contributors to poor outcomes—and are frequently associated with significant side ...

Comprehensive in vitro profiling of traditional and emerging stimulants at monoamine transporters and the 5‐HT2A receptor

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 19, Page 5871-5894, October 2026.
A pharmacological profiling of 58 synthetic stimulants of various classes at dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin transporters and the 5‐HT2A receptor, most showing distinct class‐dependent profiles, with some indicating a high abuse potential. Background and Purpose New psychoactive substances (NPSs) often emerge on the illicit drug market with ...
