Dopamine is a prototypical neuromodulator that controls circuit function through G protein-
coupled receptor signalling. Neuromodulators are volume transmitters, with release followed …

Among the many neuromodulators used by the mammalian brain to regulate circuit function
and plasticity, dopamine (DA) stands out as one of the most behaviorally powerful …

Amphetamine-related drugs, such as 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and
methamphetamine (METH), are popular recreational psychostimulants. Several preclinical …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-leading cause of dementia and is characterized by a
progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra alongside the presence of …

In this review, we provide a brief overview over the current knowledge about the role of
dopamine transmission in the prefrontal cortex during learning and memory. We discuss …

Abstract Locusts are grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) that are characterised by their
capacity for extreme population density-dependent polyphenism, transforming between a …

Foraging‐and feeding‐related behaviors across eumetazoans share similar molecular
mechanisms, suggesting the early evolution of an optimal foraging behavior called area …

Neurotransmission is the basis of neuronal communication and is critical for normal brain
development, behavior, learning, and memory. Exposure to drugs and chemicals can alter …

Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS) is found throughout
chordates, and its emergence predates the divergence of chordates. Many of the molecular …

Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the ultimate and proximate
mechanisms underlying social behavior, yet an integrative evolutionary analysis of its …
