Abstract:The dopamine 2 and 3 receptors (D2R and D3R) are well‐characterized targets for neuropsychiatric disorders. D2R/D3R agonists are used as add‐on therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and have been studied for other motor‐associated disorders. Selectively targeting D3R over D2R is attractive for two reasons: i) restricted tissue distribution of D3R compared to D2R exhibits potential for lesser side‐effects; ii) there is evidence for dominant role of D3R over D2R for neuroprotective and neurorestorative actions … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
