P139: Role of Dopamine Receptor D3 in Depression and Anxiety
Dopamine (DA) is one of the main catecholamines in the brain and is crucial for movement coordination, endocrine function, reward, mood, memory and emotions. The dopaminergic system is the primary therapeutic target in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD), drug addiction and schizophrenia. Notwithstanding, dysfunction of central dopaminergic neurotransmission has also been associated to de...
متن کاملPresynaptic dopamine dynamics in striatal brain slices with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry.
Extensive research has focused on the neurotransmitter dopamine because of its importance in the mechanism of action of drugs of abuse (e.g. cocaine and amphetamine), the role it plays in psychiatric illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and its involvement in degenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Under normal physiological cond...
متن کاملP 114: The Impact of Chamomile on Parkinson Disease (PD)
After Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease (PD) is considered the most common neurodegenerative disease. Its prevalence is the same in all area but it is common in males than females. From every 100 persons who are above 60 years old, one of them has PD. Also 5-10% of patients are less than 40 years old. This progressive neuroinflammation disease isn’t fatal. In 60% of cases is with depre...
متن کاملFunctional alterations to the nigrostriatal system in mice lacking all three members of the synuclein family.
The synucleins (α, β, and γ) are highly homologous proteins thought to play a role in regulating neurotransmission and are found abundantly in presynaptic terminals. To overcome functional overlap between synuclein proteins and to understand their role in presynaptic signaling from mesostriatal dopaminergic neurons, we produced mice lacking all three members of the synuclein family. The effect ...
متن کاملCholinergic drugs for Alzheimer's disease enhance in vitro dopamine release.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with a decline in cognitive abilities. Patients also frequently have noncognitive symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, apathy, and psychosis, that impair daily living. The most commonly prescribed treatments for Alzheimer's disease are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil and galantamine. Enhanced cholinergic functio...
