5-HT receptor positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase in striatal neurones in culture does not correspond to the 5-HT4 receptor. 5-HT induces an increase in cAMP level with an EC50 of 125 nM. 5-HT agonists displayed the following rank order of potencies 5-HT > LSD > 5-MeOT > 5-CT. 8-OH-DPAT, RU 24969 and cisapride were inactive. The most efficacious antagonists were methiothepin and tricyclic antipsychotic drugs (clozapine, amitriptyline and nortryptyline). The pharmacological profile defined by both functional studies (cAMP level) and binding experiments ([125I]-LSD binding), and its localization in striatal neurones are in favour of the presence of the recently cloned 5-HT6 receptor in these cells.

Parkinson's disease is associated with the loss of more than 40% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. One of the therapeutic options for restoring striatal dopamine levels is the administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa). However, Parkinson's disease patients on long-term L-Dopa therapy often experience motor complications, such as dyskinesias.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined as a neurodevelopmental condition. The precise underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. A body of research suggests disruptions in both the cellular architecture and neuronal function within the brain regions of individuals with ADHD, coupled with disturbances in the biochemical parameters.

In ASD, dorsal striatum displays abnormalities correlating with symptom severity, but there is a gap in knowledge about dorsal striatal cellular and molecular mechanisms that may contribute. Using a mouse model, we investigated how prenatal stress impacted striatal-dependent behavior in adult offspring.

Parkinson disease (PD) is a multisystem disorder marked by progressive dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in the substantia nigra, as well as nondopaminergic systems. Our aim was to investigate longitudinal changes in -(3-[F]fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane (F-FP-CIT) binding at the putamen, substantia nigra, and raphe nuclei in PD. This retrospective cohort study enrolled 127 patients with PD, who underwent F-FP-CIT PET scans twice or more, and 71 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Parkinson's disease (PD), characterized by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra, has no disease-modifying therapy. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown great promise as a disease-modifying solution for PD. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSC (iMSC) not only has stronger neural repair function, but also helps solve the problem of MSC heterogeneity.
