Dopamine Dynamics in Reward-based Learning

Dopamine signals are thought to be important for reward-based learning and appear to play important roles in regulating synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens and the striatum. However, the precise neuronal circuit mechanisms underlying the learning ...

Development and application of dynamic functional connectivity methods to elucidate the neural underpinnings of human behaviour with functional magnetic resonance imaging

Thomas William Arthur Bolton

Human behaviour is exquisitely complex, because it is staggeringly multi-facetted and subtly varies across individuals. Characterising its yet incompletely understood underlying biological mechanisms has profound clinical implications. Here, our goal was t ...

Structure of a D2 dopamine receptor-G-protein complex in a lipid membrane

Patrick Daniel Barth, Mahdi Hijazi

The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) is a therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease(1)and antipsychotic drugs(2). DRD2 is activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine and synthetic agonist drugs such as bromocriptine(3), leading to stimulation of G(i) ...

Mining the Potential of Label-Free Biosensors for In Vitro Antipsychotic Drug Screening

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic, Hatice Altug, Maria Soler Aznar

The pharmaceutical industry is facing enormous challenges due to high drug attribution rates. For the past decades, novel methods have been developed for safety and efficacy testing, as well as for improving early development stages. In vitro screening met ...

Alterations in brain microstructure in rats that develop abnormal aggression following peripubertal stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Exposure to early adversity is implicated in the development of aggressive behaviour later in life in some but not all individuals. The reasons for the variability in response to such experiences are not clear but may relate to pre‐existing individual diff ...

Neuroligin-2 expression in the prefrontal cortex is involved in attention deficits induced by peripubertal stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Emerging evidence indicates that attention deficits, which are frequently observed as core symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders, may be elicited by early life stress. However, the mechanisms mediating these stress effects remain unknown. The prefrontal c ...

Non-Darwinian dynamics in therapy-induced cancer drug resistance

Andreas Eduard Moor

The development of drug resistance, the prime cause of failure in cancer therapy, is commonly explained by the selection of resistant mutant cancer cells. However, dynamic non-genetic heterogeneity of clonal cell populations continuously produces metastabl ...
