Ventral striatum binding of a dopamine D2/3 receptor agonist but not antagonist predicts normal body mass index (2015)

Biol Psychiatry. 2015 Jan 15;77(2):196-202. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2013.02.017. Epub 2013 Mar 27. Caravaggio F1, Raitsin S1, Gerretsen P2, Nakajima S3, Wilson A2, Graff-Guerrero A4. Abstract BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography research has shown that dopamine D2/3 receptor (D2/3R) availability is negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) in obese but not in healthy subjects. However, previous positron […]

Regulation of dopamine system responsivity and its adaptive and pathological response to stress (2015)

Pauline Belujon , Anthony A. Grace DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2014.2516 Published 18 March 2015 Abstract Although, historically, the norepinephrine system has attracted the majority of attention in the study of the stress response, the dopamine system has also been consistently implicated. It has long been established that stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric […]
