3. 2. 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

4. 3. Resting-state Functional Connectivity in Anhedonia: Exploring the Effects of Pramipexole

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Frida Smids; [2023]
   Keywords : Anhedonia; Depression; Reward; Pramipexole; Resting-state; Functional Connectivity; Nucleus Accumbens; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Pramipexole is a medication that normalises dopamine signalling in the brain. Previous studies have suggested that pramipexole is an effective treatment option for depression and anhedonia because it targets the dopaminergic pathways within the brain’s reward network. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
