D3 dopamine receptor tolerance property: molecular mechanism and physiological relevance

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...

The D3 dopamine receptor: neurobiology and potential clinical relevance.

Molecular Mechanism Regulating 24-Hour Rhythm of Dopamine D3 Receptor Expression in Mouse Ventral Striatum s

The dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) in the ventral striatum is thought to influence motivation and motor functions. Although the expression of DRD3 in the ventral striatum has been shown to exhibit 24-hour variations, the mechanisms underlying the variation remain obscure. Here, we demonstrated that molecular components of the circadian clock act as regulators that control the 24-hour variation in ...
