Dopamine triggers skeletal muscle tone by activating D1-like receptors on somatic motoneurons.
The dopamine system plays an integral role in motor physiology. Dopamine controls movement by modulation of higher-order motor centers (e.g., basal ganglia) but may also regulate movement by directly controlling motoneuron function. Even though dopamine cells synapse onto motoneurons, which themselves express dopamine receptors, it is unknown whether dopamine modulates skeletal muscle activity....
متن کاملMechanism of Dopamine-mediated Activation of Bk Channels in Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is associated with a sustained increase in vascular tone. Large conductance, voltage-dependent and calcium-activated potassium (K) channels, or BK channels determine membrane electrical activity in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMCs). Their activation leads to hyperpolarization, a decrea...
متن کاملThe Blockade of D1/D2-Like Dopamine Receptors within the Dentate Gyrus of Hippocampus Decreased the Reinstatement of Morphine-Extinguished Conditioned Place Preference in Rats
Introduction: The hippocampus (HIP), the primary brain structure related to learning and memory, receives sparse but comprehensive dopamine innervations and contains dopamine D1/D2-like receptors. It is demonstrated that dopamine receptors in dentate gyrus (DG) region of HIP have a remarkable function in spatial reward processing. Much less is known about the involvement of HIP and its D1...
متن کاملA Noradrenergic Mechanism Functions to Couple Motor Behavior with Arousal State
BACKGROUND Appropriate levels of skeletal muscle tone are needed to support routine motor behaviors. But, the brain mechanisms that function to couple muscle tone with waking behaviors are unknown. We addressed this question by studying mice with cataplexy--a condition caused by a decoupling of motor and arousal behaviors. Cataplexy is characterized by involuntary loss of muscle tone during wak...
متن کاملDopamine triggers heterosynaptic plasticity.
As a classic neuromodulator, dopamine has long been thought to modulate, rather than trigger, synaptic plasticity. In contrast, our present results demonstrate that within the parallel projections of dopaminergic and GABAergic terminals from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens core (NAcCo), action-potential-activated release of dopamine heterosynaptically triggers LTD at GABAerg...
