Pramipexole reduces parkinsonian tremor induced by pilocarpine infusion in the rat striatum.

Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 131 , 1-5, (2015)

Pramipexole is widely prescribed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. This dopamine (DA) receptor agonist has a higher affinity for D3 over D2 receptors. We compared the effect of pramipexole to apomorphine, a non-specific DA receptor agonist, on the sup...

Alterations of BDNF and trkB mRNA expression in the 6-hydroxydopamine-induced model of preclinical stages of Parkinson's disease: an influence of chronic pramipexole in rats.

PLoS ONE 10(3) , e0117698, (2015)

Our recent study has indicated that a moderate lesion of the mesostriatal and mesolimbic pathways in rats, modelling preclinical stages of Parkinson's disease, induces a depressive-like behaviour which is reversed by chronic treatment with pramipexole. The pu...

De novo expression of dopamine D2 receptors on microglia after stroke.

J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 35 , 1804-11, (2015)

Dopamine is the predominant catecholamine in the brain and functions as a neurotransmitter. Dopamine is also a potent immune modulator. In this study, we have characterized the expression of dopamine receptors on murine microglia. We found that cultured prima...

Bias analyses of preclinical and clinical D2 dopamine ligands: studies with immediate and complex signaling pathways.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 352(3) , 480-93, (2015)

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) often activate multiple signaling pathways, and ligands may evoke functional responses through individual pathways. These unique responses provide opportunities for biased or functionally selective ligands to preferentially...

Combining a dopamine agonist and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of depression: a double-blind, randomized pilot study.

J. Affect. Disord. 149(1-3) , 319-25, (2013)

Antidepressants that act on two or more amine neurotransmitters may confer higher remission rates when first-line agents affecting a single neurotransmitter have failed. Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has antidepressant effects in patients with major depres...

Nucleus accumbens D2R cells signal prior outcomes and control risky decision-making.

Nature 531 , 642-6, (2016)

A marked bias towards risk aversion has been observed in nearly every species tested. A minority of individuals, however, instead seem to prefer risk (repeatedly choosing uncertain large rewards over certain but smaller rewards), and even risk-averse individu...
