Q

Dopamine

A

-amine neurotransmitter produced in substantia nigra of the brain
-affects motor function, cognition, and behavior, reward seeking behaviors (good for eating, bad for addiction)
-2nd messenger systems

Abnormalities seen in:
-Parkinson’s: not enough dopamine; bradykinesia, treat with precursor
-Schizophrenia: signalling pathways, treat with drugs that prevent binding

Excessive:
-drug abuse by preventing reuptake of presynaptic terminals
