Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to ...

With the help of a tiny, transparent worm called Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers have identified novel players in dopamine signaling by taking advantage of a powerful platform generated via the ...

Researchers have discovered a potentially safer yet effective treatment for multiple disorders that display altered dopamine signaling. The “key?” A molecule that targets a specific protein called the ...

Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to ...

University of Florida neuroscientists have made a mechanistic discovery that paves the way to test immune-modulating ...

The dopamine transporter (DAT) is integral to the regulation of synaptic dopamine levels, a process central to the maintenance of normal neurological function. DAT not only mediates the reuptake of ...

For the first time, researchers are able to describe how the dopamine transporter involved in cocaine use operates at the molecular level, which could pave the way to future targeted treatments.

Dopamine, a powerful brain chemical and neurotransmitter, is a key regulator of many important functions such as attention, experiencing pleasure and reward, and coordinating movement. The brain ...

A new study published in the journal Science Signaling has found that an immune system protein plays a central role in the ...

Dopamine doesn’t flood the brain as once believed – it fires in exact, ultra-fast bursts that target specific neurons. The discovery turns a century-old view of dopamine on its head and could ...
