Mesocotical dopamine (DA) inputs to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) play a crtical role in normal
cognitive process and neuropsychiatic pathologies. This DA input regulates aspects of …

Placebos are indispensable controls in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and placebo
responses significantly contribute to routine clinical outcomes. Recent neurophysiological …

Stimulant addiction is often linked to excessive risk taking, sensation seeking, and
impulsivity, but in ways that are poorly understood. We report here that a form of impulsivity …

This review updates the existing knowledge suggesting a role for the D3 receptor in
schizophrenia and drug addiction. The D3 receptor is expressed in brain regions controlling …

In the central nervous system (CNS), dopamine is involved in the control of locomotion,
cognition, affect and neuroendocrine secretion. These actions of dopamine are mediated by …

Among the neurotransmitters involved in addiction, dopamine (DA) is clearly the best known.
The critical role of DA in addiction is supported by converging evidence that has been …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been regarded as an important modulator of basal
ganglia output. It receives its major afferents from the cerebral cortex, thalamus, globus …

Five or more dopamine receptor genes are expressed in brain. However, the
pharmacological similarities of the encoded D1-D5 receptors have hindered studies of the …

In recent years, the distribution of dopamine receptor subtypes among the principal neurons
of the neostriatum has been the subject of debate. Conventional anatomical and …
