Tremor Asymmetry and the Development of Bilateral Phase‐Specific Deep Brain Stimulation for Postural Tremor

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tremor phase‐locked deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been shown to modulate symptom severity in postural tremor, including essential and dystonic tremor, with less energy than existing systems. Previous studies focused on unilateral stimulation; it remains unknown how tremor asymmetry interacts with stimulation in the context of ...

Dissecting Dopamine D2 Receptor Signaling

open access: yes, 2015
Dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that activates G protein and arrestin signaling molecules. D2R antagonism has been a hallmark of antipsychotic medications for more than half a century. However, this drug-class is associated with substantial side effects that decrease quality of life and medication compliance.

The Quinoline Photoremovable Group (PPG) Platform—A Medicinal Chemist's Approach for Photocage Development and Applications

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) offer a straightforward solution for the temporary inactivation of biologically active substrates and their subsequent controlled release by light irradiation. Their relatively easy design and mode of application have made them useful tools for studying dynamic biological processes in vitro and in vivo ...

Simulating Effects of Learning and Lesions with a Model of Intrinsic and Synaptically Gated Responses of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The giant cholinergic interneurons of the striatum are tonically active neurons (TANs) that respond with characteristic pauses to novel events and to appetitive and aversive conditioned stimuli.

Molecular Tools to Study and Control Dopaminergic Neurotransmission With Light

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dopaminergic neurotransmission is involved in several important brain functions, such as motor control, learning, reward‐motivated behavior, and emotions. Dysfunctions of dopaminergic system may lead to the development of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, like Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and addictions ...

Attenuation of Antagonist-induced Impairment of Dopamine Receptors by L-prolyl - L-leucyl-glycinamide [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
It has been shown by others that the prenatal treatment of rats with haloperidol, a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, leads to a permanent reduction in the number of striatal dopamine D2 receptors in adulthood. Conversely, postnatal treatment of lactating

Polydopamine‐Coated Selenium Nanoparticles as a Stable Catalyst for Tunable and Sustained Nitric Oxide Generation

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Polydopamine‐coated selenium nanoparticles (Se@PDA NPs) are effective catalysts for in situ NO generation. The PDA coating enhances cellular uptake, allowing for intracellular NO generation from endogenous NO donors, such as S‐nitrosoglutathione. Se@PDA NPs exhibit high biocompatibility, sustain NO generation over five doses, and remain active for at ...

D2-like dopamine receptors mediate the response to amphetamine in a mouse model of ADHD

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
The mechanisms underlying the effects of psychostimulants in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are not well understood, but indirect evidence implicates D2 dopamine receptors. Here we dissect the components of dopaminergic neurotransmission

Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.

Spasmodic Dysphonia

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...
