Dopamine receptor signaling molecules are altered in elderly schizophrenic cortex.
Alterations of molecules that mediate dopaminergic signal transduction have been found in schizophrenia, supporting the hypothesis of altered dopaminergic neurotransmission in this illness. To further explore this hypothesis, the authors measured transcript expression of three proteins involved in dopamine (DA) signaling in postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex of eld...
متن کاملDopamine D2 receptor levels in striatum, thalamus, substantia nigra, limbic regions, and cortex in schizophrenic subjects.
BACKGROUND Studies in schizophrenic patients have reported dopaminergic abnormalities in striatum, substantia nigra, thalamus, anterior cingulate, hippocampus, and cortex that have been related to positive symptoms and cognitive impairments. METHODS [(18)F]fallypride positron emission tomography studies were performed in off-medication or never-medicated schizophrenic subjects (n = 11, 6 men,...
متن کاملAltered Expression Profile of IgLON Family of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex of Schizophrenic Patients
Neural adhesion proteins are crucial in the development and maintenance of functional neural connectivity. Growing evidence suggests that the IgLON family of neural adhesion molecules LSAMP, NTM, NEGR1, and OPCML are important candidates in forming the susceptibility to schizophrenia (SCZ). IgLON proteins have been shown to be involved in neurite outgrowth, synaptic plasticity and neuronal conn...
متن کاملAltered Dopamine Signaling in Naturally Occurring Maternal Neglect
BACKGROUND Child neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment, yet the biological basis of maternal neglect is poorly understood and a rodent model is lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The current study characterizes a population of mice (MaD1) which naturally exhibit maternal neglect (little or no care of offspring) at an average rate of 17% per generation. We identified a set...
متن کاملSigma-1 receptors amplify dopamine D1 receptor signaling at presynaptic sites in the prelimbic cortex.
Sigma-1 receptors are highly expressed in the brain. The downstream signaling mechanisms associated with the sigma-1 receptor activation have been shown to involve the activation of protein kinase C (PKC), the control of Ca(2) homoeostasis and the regulation of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels. But few studies examined the regulatory effect of sigma-1 receptors on metabotropic receptor si...
