  1. 1. Sex Differences in Dopamine D1-type Receptors and Episodic Memory : an Imaging Study Across the Adult Lifespan

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Umeå centrum för funktionell hjärnavbildning (UFBI); Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Anton Degerfält; [2023]
    Keywords : dopamine; D1DR; sex; episodic memory; ageing; PET; MRI;

    Abstract : Identification of the pathways that could be targeted to alleviate ageing-related cognitive decline is of prime importance. One of the most promising target mechanisms is connected to healthy dopaminergic ageing. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identifying effects of adrenaline and dopamine binding on the beta2-adrenergic receptor structure and function using machine learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Joar Gunnarsson; Leon Bergner; [2023]
    Keywords : beta2-adrenergic receptor; GPCR; adrenaline; dopamine; Machine learning; Molecular dynamics simulation;

    Abstract : The beta2-adrenergic receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor, involved in several physiological processes, which enables signaling through the cell membrane. To study the effect of dopamine and adrenaline binding on the receptor structure and function, we used machine learning methods applied to data from molecular dynamics simulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Understanding the Activation Mechanism of the D2 Dopamine Receptor Modulated by Dopamine and Adrenaline via Machine Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Astrid Frykman; Sophia Bröte; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The dopamine receptor is one of the main therapeutic targets for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Although dopamine and adrenaline are structurally similar and both bind to the D2 dopamine receptor, they activate the receptor differently. READ MORE

  5. 4. Neurobiology of opioid addiction

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ludvig Rudén; [2018]
    Keywords : Opioids; reinforcement; mu opioid receptor; addiction; allostasis; cAMP; Opioider; belöning; mu opioid receptor; beroende; allostas; cAMP;

    Abstract : Since the use of opioids started to emerge for analgesic reasons in the 19th century with the synthetization of morphine, opioids have been studied rigorously to better understand its effects on the brain. This thesis shows that both the analgesic effects and the reinforcing effects of opioids are mediated by the same receptor, the mu opioid receptor (MOR). READ MORE

  6. 5. Acepromazin och alfa2-agonister i kombination med en opioid som premedicinering till hund : sedering, analgesi och påverkan på cirkulation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Axel Brånstrand; [2017]
    Keywords : acepromazin; alfa2-agonister; medetomidin; dexmedetomidin; opioid; metadon;

    Abstract : Inom veterinärmedicinen är det av stor vikt att våra husdjur får adekvat premedicinering inför generell anestesi och undersökningar. Faktorer som sedering, analgesi och hur cirkulationen påverkas är viktiga aspekter som tas i beaktning ur ett djurvälfärdsperspektiv. READ MORE
