Over the last 10 years there has been important progress towards understanding how
neurotransmitters regulate dopaminergic output. Reasonable estimates can be made of the …

Publisher Summary The dopamine (DA) innervation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) differs
from other mesotelencephalic DA terminal field regions in that it responds in a quantitatively …

Fast-acting neurotransmitters and slow, modulatory neuropeptides are co-released from
neurons in the central nervous system, albeit from distinct synaptic vesicles. The …

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by leg paresthesia
associated with an irresistible urge to move that often interferes with nocturnal sleep, leading …

The sources and histochemical characteristics of dopaminergic projections to motor and
premotor areas of cortex were investigated in owl monkeys in which information from related …

Survival depends on an organism's ability to sense nutrient status and accordingly regulate
intake and energy expenditure behaviors. Uncoupling of energy sensing and behavior …

Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide that is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and
the gastrointestinal tract. NT behaves as a neurotransmitter in the brain and as a hormone in …

Glutamatergic afferente of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play an important role in the
functioning of the VTA and are involved in the pathophysiology of drug addiction. It has …

Receptors for the neuropeptide, neurotensin, were localized by immunohistochemistry in the
rat brain by using an antibody raised against a sequence of the third intracellular loop of the …

The neurotensin (NT) receptor, NTS3, originally identified as the intracellular sorting protein
sortilin, is a member of a recently discovered family of receptors characterized by a single …
