Repeated cocaine exposure produces sensitization, and the D1 dopamine receptor and its associated signaling pathway have been implicated in this phenomenon.
This article too will review a common behavioral manifestation associated with repeated cocaine exposure, sensitization, and why the D1 dopamine receptor and its associated signaling pathway have been implicated in this phenomenon.
The psychostimulant effects of cocaine appear to be mediated by enhanced dopaminergic activity within the mesocorticolimbic circuit.
Pharmacologically, the psychostimulant effects of cocaine appear to be mediated by its ability to enhance dopaminergic activity within the mesocorticolimbic circuit.
Cocaine directly prevents reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine by binding their transport proteins, thereby elevating synaptic concentrations of these neurotransmitters.
Cocaine binds differentially to the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transport proteins and directly prevents the re-uptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine into pre-synaptic neurons... Inhibition of re-uptake subsequently elevates the synaptic concentrations of each of these neurotransmitters.
The review centers on cocaine-induced alterations in dopamine-mediated signal transduction, especially intracellular signaling mediated by the D1 dopamine receptor.
This review will summarize findings relevant to cocaine-induced alterations in dopamine-mediated signal transduction. Specifically, it will concentrate on the D1 dopamine receptor and intracellular signaling mediated by this receptor subtype.
The review links D1 dopamine receptor-associated signaling to cocaine-induced cellular and behavioral alterations that may affect gene transcription and protein expression.
It will describe cocaine-induced cellular and behavioral alterations relevant to this pathway and how these changes potentially effect gene transcription and protein expression.
Targeting the D1 dopamine receptor and its signaling pathway may provide insight into understanding cocaine addiction.
Lastly, this article will discuss how targeting the D1 dopamine receptor and its signaling pathway may offer some insight into understanding cocaine addiction, a somewhat elusive brain disease.
