Dopamine receptors and brain function.

TLDR
The recent characterization of D3 and D4 receptors which are, interestingly, expressed in areas of the CNS mediating cognition and affect or showing increased affinity for certain neuroleptics, have renewed the interest and hope of finding effective neurolePTics devoid of side effects.

Actions of Caffeine in the Brain with Special Reference to Factors That Contribute to Its Widespread Use

TL;DR: Caffeine is the most widely consumed behaviorally active substance in the world and almost all caffeine comes from dietary sources (beverages and food).
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine as a prolactin (PRL) inhibitor.

TL;DR: PRL homeostasis should be viewed in the context of a fine balance between the action of dopamine as an inhibitor and the many hypothalamic, systemic, and local factors acting as stimulators, none of which has yet emerged as a primary PRL releasing factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine-mediated regulation of corticostriatal synaptic plasticity

TL;DR: A model in which the spontaneous membrane oscillations of neurons projecting from the striatum, in addition to the pattern of release of endogenous dopamine, bias the synapse towards preferential induction of LTP or LTD is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ruthenium-catalyzed N-alkylation of amines and sulfonamides using borrowing hydrogen methodology.

TL;DR: The alkylation of amines by alcohols has been achieved using 0.5 mol % [Ru(p-cymene)Cl(2)](2) with the bidentate phosphines dppf or DPEphos as the catalyst.

Multiple receptors for dopamine.

TL;DR: Pharmacological and biochemical criteria can be used to separate those dopamine receptors which are linked to the enzyme adenylyl cyclase and those which are not.
Journal ArticleDOI

D1 and D2 dopamine receptor-regulated gene expression of striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons

TL;DR: The differential effects of dopamine on striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons are mediated by their specific expression of D1 and D2 dopamine receptor subtypes, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel dopamine receptor (D3) as a target for neuroleptics.

TL;DR: The D3 receptor is localized to limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional and endocrine functions, and seems to mediate some of the effects of antipsychotic drugs and drugs used against Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperlocomotion and indifference to cocaine and amphetamine in mice lacking the dopamine transporter

TL;DR: In homozygote mice, dopamine persists at least 100 times longer in the extracellular space, explaining the biochemical basis of the hyperdopaminergic phenotype and demonstrating the critical role of the transporter in regulating neurotransmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine receptor binding predicts clinical and pharmacological potencies of antischizophrenic drugs

TL;DR: Clinical potencies of butyrophenones, phenothiazines, and related drugs correlate closely with their ability to inhibit tritiated haloperidol binding, providing a simple in vitro means for evaluating new drugs as potential antischizophrenic agents.
