Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill have resolved the structure of the D 2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) bound to the antipsychotic drug risperidone. The researchers, led by ...

Scientists have solved the structure of one of the receptors that responds to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Although dopamine transmission is essential to normal brain functioning, the biological ...

A novel electrode platform detects dopamine from single living brain organoids in real time, enabling non-destructive ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Dopamine doesn’t flood the brain as once believed – it fires in exact, ultra-fast bursts that target specific neurons. The discovery turns a century-old view of dopamine on its head and could ...

Naturally rewarding stimuli (i.e. food, sex, etc) increase the activity of dopamine cells in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system causing increased dopamine release in brain areas such as the nucleus ...

The neurotransmitter dopamine isn’t just beautiful under polarized light – it’s also a neurotransmitter that can get you high. Photographer Spike Walker just won an award for his breathtaking ...

We do know Parkinson's is caused by the loss of dopamine nerve cells in the part of the brain responsible for voluntary ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
