Journal ArticleDOI

The Physiology, Signaling, and Pharmacology of Dopamine Receptors

TL;DR: D dopamine receptor classification, their basic structural and genetic organization, their distribution and functions in the brain and the periphery, and their regulation and signal transduction mechanisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice with Reduced NMDA Receptor Expression Display Behaviors Related to Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The generation of mice expressing only 5% of normal levels of the essential NMDAR1 (NR1) subunit is reported, supporting a model in which reduced NMDA receptor activity results in schizophrenic-like behavior and reveals how pharmacological manipulation of monoaminergic pathways can affect this phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Morphine Analgesia in Mice Lacking β-Arrestin 2

TL;DR: It is suggested that inhibition of beta-arrestin 2 function might lead to enhanced analgesic effectiveness of morphine and provide potential new avenues for the study and treatment of pain, narcotic tolerance, and dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct generation of functional dopaminergic neurons from mouse and human fibroblasts

TL;DR: A minimal set of three transcription factors were able to elicit dopaminergic neuronal conversion in prenatal and adult fibroblasts from healthy donors and Parkinson’s disease patients and might have significant implications for understanding critical processes for neuronal development, in vitro disease modelling and cell replacement therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Akt/β-Arrestin 2/PP2A Signaling Complex Mediates Dopaminergic Neurotransmission and Behavior

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, apart from its classical function in receptor desensitization, beta-arrestin 2 also acts as a signaling intermediate through a kinase/phosphatase scaffold, thus implicating beta-arsenin 2 as a positive mediator of dopaminergic synaptic transmission and a potential pharmacological target for dopamine-related psychiatric disorders.
