    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dopaminergic_drugs

    Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling.

    The neurotransmitter dopamine is the primary endogenous ligand for dopamine receptors. Dopamine receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling.

  6. Dopamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine

    Dopamine exerts its effects by binding to and activating cell surface receptors. [22] In humans, dopamine has a high binding affinity at dopamine receptors and human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (hTAAR1). [3] [33] In mammals, five subtypes of dopamine receptors have been identified, labeled from D 1 to D 5. [22]

  7. Dopamine (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_(medication)

    At low doses dopamine mainly triggers dopamine receptors and β1-adrenergic receptors while at high doses it works via α-adrenergic receptors. [4] Dopamine was first synthesized in a laboratory in 1910 by George Barger and James Ewens in England. [8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [9] In human physiology ...

    Chemistry, not moral failing, accounts for the brain’s unwinding. In the laboratories that study drug addiction, researchers have found that the brain becomes conditioned by the repeated dopamine rush caused by heroin. “The brain is not designed to handle it,” said Dr. Ruben Baler, a scientist with the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

  9. Sympathomimetic drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathomimetic_drug

    The primary endogenous agonists of the sympathetic nervous system are the catecholamines (i.e., epinephrine [adrenaline], norepinephrine [noradrenaline], and dopamine), which function as both neurotransmitters and hormones. Sympathomimetic drugs are used to treat cardiac arrest and low blood pressure, or even delay premature labor, among other ...
