Prolactin is a protein hormone of the anterior pituitary gland that was originally named for its
ability to promote lactation in response to the suckling stimulus of hungry young mammals …

The striatum and its ventral extension, the nucleus accumbens, are involved in behaviors as
diverse as motor planning, drug seeking, and learning. Invariably, these striatally mediated …

Dopamine plays an important role in fear and anxiety modulating a cortical brake that the
medial prefrontal cortex exerts on the anxiogenic output of the amygdala and have an …

Research on dopamine lies at the intersection of sophisticated theoretical and
neurobiological approaches to learning and memory. Dopamine has been shown to be …

The brain mesoaccumbens dopamine system is intricately involved in the psychomotor
stimulant activities of cocaine. However, the extent to which different dopamine receptors …

Hetero-oligomers of G-protein-coupled receptors have become the subject of intense
investigation, because their purported potential to manifest signaling and pharmacological …

D1 receptors are the main mediators of dopamine transmission in the cortex and subserve
cognitive functions that are affected in patients with schizophrenia. Prior imaging studies …

The release of dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is thought to be critical for
mediating natural rewards as well as for the reinforcing actions of drugs of abuse. DA and …

Dopaminergic signaling within the basal ganglia has classically been thought to occur within
two distinct neuronal pathways; the direct striatonigral pathway which contains the …
