Summary:

In this book, the authors present current research in the functions, regulation and health effects of dopamine. Topics include N-Acylated dopamine; the molecular and genetic basis of the regulation of dopamine transporter; dopaminergic and glutamatergic dysfunctions in the neuropathophysiology of schizophrenia; regulation of synapsin II by dopaminergic mechanisms; dopamine agonists and paraphilias and gene therapy for continuous dopamine production in Parkinson's disease.
