Striatal Signal Transduction and Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by loss of control over motivated behavior. The need for effective treatments mandates a greater understanding of the causes and identification of new therapeutic targets for drug development. Drugs of abuse subjugate normal reward-related behavior to uncontrollable drug-seeking and -taking. Contributions of brain reward circuit...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways in Breast Cancer – Drug Targets and Challenges
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide [1]. Over 1.1 million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed across the world each year, compared with about 500,000 cases in 1975. This represents about 10% of all new cancer cases and 23% of all female cancers [2-3]. An annual prevalence of more than 4.4 million cases of breast cance...
متن کاملFronto-striatal dysregulation in drug addiction and pathological gambling: Consistent inconsistencies?☆
Alterations in appetitive processing are central to the major psychological theories of addiction, with differential predictions made by the reward deficiency, incentive salience, and impulsivity hypotheses. Functional MRI has become the chief means of testing these predictions, with experiments reliably highlighting disturbances at the level of the striatum, medial prefrontal cortex, and affil...
متن کاملVentral striatal regulation of CREM mediates impulsive action and drug addiction vulnerability
Impulsivity, a multifaceted behavioral hallmark of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), strongly influences addiction vulnerability and other psychiatric disorders that incur enormous medical and societal burdens yet the neurobiological underpinnings linking impulsivity to disease remain poorly understood. Here we report the critical role of ventral striatal cAMP-response element mo...
متن کاملStructure and Signal Transduction
The band 4.1 domain was first identified in the red blood cell protein band 4.1, and subsequently in ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM proteins) and other proteins, including tumor suppressor merlin/schwannomin, talin, unconventional myosins VIHa and X, and protein tyrosine phosphatases. Recently, the presence of a structurally related domain has been demonstrated in the N-terminal region of two ...
