The D 3 dopamine receptor is a member of the family of D 2-like dopamine receptors. Since
the cloning and identification of the D 3 receptor in 1990, considerable progress has been …

Dopamine (DA), as one of the major neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS)
and periphery, exerts its actions through five types of receptors which belong to two major …

Dopamine is a major neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Receptors for this
catecholamine are of considerable interest, as they are the principal target of drugs …

The phenotypical characterization of neurons bearing the dopamine D 3 receptor in the
nucleus accumbens was investigated by in situ hybridization. A large fraction of neurotensin …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the role of the Dl-like dopamine
receptors in nervous system function. The goal is to provide a broader, integrated overview …

The recently discovered dopamine D 3 receptor can be considered as a D 2-like receptor: it
is encoded by a gene comprising several introns; it is both an autoreceptor and a …

Novel structural and functional aspects of the dopamine (DA) D3 receptors (D3R) have been
recently described. D3R expressed in dopaminergic neurons have been classically …

Extraordinary progress has been made in the molecular, genetic, anatomical, and
pharmacological characterization of dopamine D 4 receptors in animal and human brain …

Since their discovery in 1991, an extraordinary amount of information has accumulated
about the neurobiology and pharmacology of D4 receptors in the mammalian central …

Previous studies using a variety of drugs with different affinities for the dopamine (DA) D3
receptor suggested that this receptor is involved in regulating motor activity and …
