Psychostimulants change the function of cortico-basal ganglia circuits. Some of these effects
are mediated by altered gene regulation in projection neurons of the striatum which …

Administration of selective agonists of D, dopamine receptors increases immediate early
gene expression in striatal neurons, a response which is particularly robust in the dopamine …

Publisher Summary Dopamine receptor-mediated gene-regulation effects provide insight
into the functional role of dopamine in the striatum. To study such regulatory processes as …

Psychostimulants and other dopamine agonists produce molecular changes in neurons of
cortico–basal ganglia–cortical circuits, and such neuronal changes are implicated in …

It is generally accepted that the widely used, partial dopamine D1 receptor agonist, SKF-
38393, does not induce immediate early gene expression in striatal projection neurons …

Manipulations of D1-or D2-dopamine receptors have differential and selective effects on the
striatonigral and striatopallidal output pathways of the striatum, respectively. However …

Interactions between the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex are critical for normal goal-
directed behavior. In the present study, we used immediate-early genes (c-fos, zif 268) as …

Dopamine-mediated behaviors and certain biochemical and molecular events associated
with these behaviors were examined following continuous infusion of the D 1 dopamine …

Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant which inhibits the dopamine transporter and produces
dopamine overflow in the striatum, similar to the effects of cocaine. Excessive dopamine …

The regulation of the dopamine (DA) receptors is of considerable interest, in part because
treatment with antipsychotic drugs is known to upregulate striatal D2-like receptors. While …
