An international collaboration, which included the involvement of the research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the UAB (INC-UAB), has shown that neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors ...

The dopamine D2 receptor has a previously unobserved role in modulating Wnt expression and control of cell proliferation, according to a new study from the George Washington University (GW) and the ...

The structural basis of allosteric signaling in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is important in guiding design of therapeutics and understanding phenotypic consequences of genetic variation. The ...

D1 and D2 dopamine receptors (D1DRs and D2DRs) may contribute differently to various aspects of memory and cognition. The D1DR system has been linked to functions supported by the prefrontal cortex.

Dopamine, often referred to as the "pleasure molecule", is a crucial neurotransmitter involved in a wide range of physiological functions. While it is widely recognised for its role in cognition, ...

Dopamine, a key neurotransmitter in the brain, plays a vital role in regulating movement, emotion, and cognition. It is central to the pathology of several major neurological and psychiatric ...

Let's understand in detail how junk food affects your brain and other surprising ways it is worsening your health.

It seems preposterous that thrill seeker James Bond would have too few of anything, but new research suggests he may have a deficit of dopamine receptors. Earlier work has suggested that a propensity ...
