Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative dysfunction characterized by the loss of pigmented dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal system with a consequent dopamine decrease. The reduction of dopamine levels produces neuronal damage, depigmentation of the substantia nigra, and the presence of intracellular inclusions in dopaminergic neurons. Treatments for Parkinson's disease a...
Current dopaminergic therapies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease are associated with the development of long-term motor complications. Abnormal pulsatile stimulation of dopamine receptors is thought to underlie the development of motor complications. There is thus a need for therapies that mimic the normal physiological state more closely by resulting in constant dopaminergic stimulation...
Neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the presence of α-synuclein-a hallmark of pathologic inclusions termed Lewy bodies-include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple-system atrophy. Although motor symptoms are related to the altered presynaptic dopaminergic function in these diseases, the appearance of α-synuclein inclusions precedes the involvement of the nigrostr...
Functional imaging techniques provide major insights into understanding the pathophysiology, progression, complications, and differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The dopaminergic system has been particularly studied allowing now early, presymptomatic diagnoses, which is of interest for future neuroprotective strategies. The existence of a compensatory hyperactivity of dopa-decarb...
Individuals with genotypes that code for reduced dopaminergic brain activity often exhibit a predisposition toward aggression. However, it remains largely unknown how dopaminergic genotypes may increase aggression. Lower-functioning dopamine systems motivate individuals to seek reward from external sources such as illicit drugs and other risky experiences. Based on emerging evidence that aggres...
Addictions to dopaminergic drugs or to pleasant behaviours are frequent and potentially devastating neuropsychiatric disorders observed in Parkinson's disease. They encompass impulse control disorders, punding and dopamine dysregulation syndrome. A relationship with dopaminergic treatment is strongly suggested. Subthalamic stimulation improves motor complications and allows for drastic reductio...
Although neuroleptics, prescribed for psychiatric conditions, are by far the commonest drugs known to produce acute dystonia, other drugs such as prochlorperazine, metoclopramide, tetrabenazine etc., prescribed for non-psychiatric conditions, are also known to produce this side effect the common factor is the ability of the drug to produce a central inhibition of dopaminergic neurotransmission....
It is believed that BALB/c mice appear to be less sensitive to the locomotor effects of abused drugs compared to other strains, and several behaviors induced by abused drugs depend on genetic factors. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of the interaction between psychostimulants and morphine on behavior in BALB/c mice. Morphine and cocaine induced hyperlocomotion and hypo...
Prolactin is a polypeptide, consisting of 198 amino acids, secreted from the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin secretion is infl uenced by physiologic factors (sleep, pregnancy, stress, exercise, intercourse, nipple stimulation), pathologic factors (pituitary adenoma, primary hypothyroidism, renal failure, hypothalamic diseases), and drugs (phenothiazines, butyrophenones, morphine, estrogens,...
Synaptic transmission onto dopaminergic neurons of the mammalian ventral tegmental area (VTA) can be potentiated by acute or chronic exposure to addictive drugs. Because rewarding behavior, such as social affiliation, can activate the same neural circuitry as addictive drugs, we tested whether the intense social interaction of songbird courtship may also potentiate VTA synaptic function. We rec...
