Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of dopamine receptors

TL;DR: This review focuses on the pharmacological and biochemical features shared by the dopamine receptors and their coupling to secondary messenger pathways and their physiological function based upon studies using pharmacological tools, specific brain lesions and, more recently, genetically modified animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct functions of the two isoforms of dopamine D2 receptors

TL;DR: It is shown that these receptors have distinct functions in vivo; D2L acts mainly at postsynaptic sites and D2S serves presynaptic autoreceptor functions, uncovering a circuit of signalling interference between dopamine receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinsonian-like locomotor impairment in mice lacking dopamine D2 receptors.

TL;DR: This study shows that D2 receptors have a key role in the dopaminergic control of nervous function, using homologous recombination to generate D2-receptor-deficient mice, which have therapeutic potential as a model for investigating and correcting dysfunctions of the dopamine system.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREM gene: use of alternative DNA-binding domains generates multiple antagonists of cAMP-induced transcription.

TL;DR: Using PCR and RNAase protection analysis, this gene, termed CREM, is isolated from a mouse pituitary cDNA library and three mRNA isoforms are identified that appear to be obtained by differential cell-specific splicing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decoding the Epigenetic Language of Neuronal Plasticity

TL;DR: The molecular pathways underlying chromatin transitions, the presence of an "epigenetic indexing code," and how central findings accumulating at an exponential pace in the field of epigenetics are conceptually changing the perspective of adult brain function are discussed.
