Alcohol-related expectancies are associated with the D2 dopamine receptor and GABAa receptor B3 subunit genes [PDF]
Molecular genetic research has identified promising markers of alcohol dependence, including alleles of the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) and the GABAA receptor ¬3 subunit (GABRB3) genes.

Nicotinic and opioid receptor regulation of striatal dopamine D2-receptor mediated transmission
In addition to dopamine neuron firing, cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) regulate dopamine release in the striatum via presynaptic nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) on dopamine axon terminals.

Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

A Novel Dopamine Receptor Signaling Unit in Brain: Heterooligomers of D1 And D2 Dopamine Receptors
The ability of G protein coupled receptors to heterooligomerize and create novel signaling complexes has demonstrated the tremendous potential of these receptors to access diverse signaling cascades, as well as to modulate the nature of the transduced ...

α-synuclein accumulation into dopaminergic neurons is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. We previously demonstrated that fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) is critical for α-synuclein uptake and propagation to accumulate in dopaminergic ...

Caffeine increases striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability in the human brain
Caffeine, the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world, is used to promote wakefulness and enhance alertness. Like other wake-promoting drugs (stimulants and modafinil), caffeine enhances dopamine (DA) signaling in the brain, which it ...
