These newly discovered pathways connect to dopamine-producing neurons in the brain—one stimulates dopamine release and the ...

Third, we are analyzing the mechanisms by which adenosine and dopamine receptors interact to influence psychostimulant-induced behaviors. Adenosine also plays important roles in regulating neuronal ...

Destruction of the ascending dopaminergic pathway, blocking of dopamine receptors by drugs, inhibition of dopamine synthesis, or prevention of dopamine storage has been shown to induce akinesia on ...
