چکیده
s | 47 of oxytocin. Moreover, the degree of neural overlap was significantly low in ASD model mice. These findings offer insight into our understanding of the neural mechanisms of empathy and the development of therapeutic treatment of ASD.

D2 dopamine receptors in striatal medium spiny neurons reduce L-type Ca2+ currents and excitability via a novel PLC[beta]1-IP3-calcineurin-signaling cascade.
In spite of the recognition that striatal D(2) receptors are critical determinants in a variety of psychomotor disorders, the cellular mechanisms by which these receptors shape neuronal activity have remained a mystery. The studies presented here reveal that D(2) receptor stimulation in enkephalin-expressing medium spiny neurons suppresses transmembrane Ca(2+) currents through L-type Ca(2+) cha...
متن کاملDysfunction of ventrolateral striatal dopamine receptor type 2-expressing medium spiny neurons impairs instrumental motivation
Impaired motivation is present in a variety of neurological disorders, suggesting that decreased motivation is caused by broad dysfunction of the nervous system across a variety of circuits. Based on evidence that impaired motivation is a major symptom in the early stages of Huntington's disease, when dopamine receptor type 2-expressing striatal medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) are particularly a...
متن کاملCharacterization of CaMKII-expressing neurons within a striatal region implicated in avian vocal learning.
In songbirds, an anterior forebrain pathway has been implicated in vocal learning. Within Area X, the striatal-pallidal component of this forebrain pathway, early social tutoring dramatically increases the autophosphorylation of CaMKII (calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II). Activation of CaMKII often is associated with forms of synaptic plasticity (e.g. LTP) underlying learning and m...
متن کاملDopaminergic Control of Corticostriatal Long-Term Synaptic Depression in Medium Spiny Neurons Is Mediated by Cholinergic Interneurons
Long-term depression (LTD) of the synapse formed between cortical pyramidal neurons and striatal medium spiny neurons is central to many theories of motor plasticity and associative learning. The induction of LTD at this synapse is thought to depend upon D(2) dopamine receptors localized in the postsynaptic membrane. If this were true, LTD should be inducible in neurons from only one of the two...
متن کاملNucleus accumbens D2- and D1-receptor expressing medium spiny neurons are selectively activated by morphine withdrawal and acute morphine, respectively.
Opioids are effective analgesic agents but serious adverse effects such as tolerance and withdrawal contribute to opioid dependence and limit their use. Opioid withdrawal involves numerous brain regions and includes suppression of dopamine release and activation of neurons in the ventral striatum. By contrast, acute opioids increase dopamine release. Like withdrawal, acute opioids also activate...
