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 …

For over three decades, Allan N. Schore has authored numerous volumes, chapters, and
articles on regulation theory, a biopsychosocial model of the development …

DOPAMINE receptors belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. On the basis of
the homology between these receptors, three different dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D3) …

The striatum and its ventral extension, the nucleus accumbens, are involved in behaviors as
diverse as motor planning, drug seeking, and learning. Invariably, these striatally mediated …

DOPAMINE receptors belong to a superfamily of receptors that exert their biological effects
through guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins. Two main dopamine receptor subtypes …

The application of modem molecular biological methods has had an increasing and
dramatic impact upon the discipline of molecular neuropharmacology. This is particularly …

The messenger RNA (mRNA) of the recently characterized D 3 dopamine receptor was
visualized on rat brain sections using in situ hybridization with a 32 P-labeled ribonucleic …

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 …

• The allelic association of the human D 2 dopamine receptor gene with the binding
characteristics of the D 2 dopamine receptor was determined in 66 brains of alcoholic and …
