Although now believed to be two distinct disorders, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and
schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) share multiple phenotypic similarities and risk …

ABSTRACT Dopamine (3-hydroxytyramine or 3, 4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) has many
functions in animals, but also shows several other functions in plants. Since the discovery of …

Social neuroscience, the study of the neurobiological basis of social behavior, has become
a major area of current research in behavioral neuroscience and psychiatry, since many …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental
disorder, with current estimates of more than 1% of affected children across nations. The …

The human dopamine transporter gene SLC6A3 has been consistently implicated in several
neuropsychiatric diseases but the disease mechanism remains elusive. In this risk synthesis …

Low vitamin D status in early development has been hypothesised as an environmental risk
factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), given the concurrent increase in the prevalence …

Monoamine transporters (MATs) regulate neurotransmission via the reuptake of dopamine,
serotonin and norepinephrine from extra-neuronal regions and thus maintain …

Regulation of axonal dopamine release by local microcircuitry is at the hub of several
biological processes that govern the timing and magnitude of signaling events in reward …

We present the dynamic mechanism of concerted motions in a full-length molecular model of
the human dopamine transporter (hDAT), a member of the neurotransmitter/sodium …

In this review, we describe and discuss neurodevelopmental phenotypes arising from rare,
high penetrance genomic variants which directly influence synaptic vesicle cycling (SVC …
