What has the author Michael Bryan Goldberg written?
Michael Bryan Goldberg has written: 'Dopaminergic effects on intraocular pressure and binding in the cileary processes'
What Parts of the brain thought to be involved in schizophrenia?
Typically, the temporal lobe and limbic system are involved in schizophrenia. Lesions, malformations, or simply dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons of these areas of the brain can result in the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Since excess dopaminergic activity is indicative of schizophrenia, antipsychotic drugs that block dopamine receptors are the usual treatment for this illness.
Is Parkinsons Disease a muscular disease?
No. It is a neurologic disease, originating in the dopaminergic pathways of the brain, including the substantia nigra, caudate and putamen, as well as other structures.
What is the difference between bromocriptine and levodopa in relation to the duration of action?
Bromocriptine (dopaminergic agonist drug) has longer duration of action than levodopa (dopamine precursor).
Can a neurologist help children with ADHD?
ADHD is most commonly, due to an deficiency in dopaminergic activity in the prefrontal cortex, which leads to more impulsivity, difficulty staying still (inhibiting movement), and diffculty maintaining focus or concentrating. The most common reason for this is due to mutations (variations) in the dopamine receptor genes, which lead to reduced binding affinities for dopamine (dopamine can't bind as well to the existing dopamine receptors, leading to reduced dopaminergic activity in the brain). That is why dopaminergic stimulants are most often used to treat ADHD, as it is a neurochemical disorder. As such, a neurologist or psychiatrist can administer medication or help with alternative therapies to help treat the disorder.
How does dopamine increase urine output?
Used to treat hypotension in shock states that are not due to hypovolemia. (dopaminergic effect): dilates the renal and messenteric blood vessels, producing an increase in urine output.
What is Phenothiazines?
Phenothiazine: One of a group of tranquilizing drugs with antipsychotic actions thought to act by blocking dopaminergic transmission (messages sent using the substance dopamine) within the brain.http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11999
Which neurotransmitteres play role in psychosis?
As far as we know, dopamine is the main culprit in psychosis. Autospies have shown excess dopaminergic receptors in the brain's of people who suffered psychosis. Other neurotransmitters are also affected.
What drugs can be used to treat aphasia?
To date, no pharmacological treatments for aphasia have proven effective, although a number of drugs (dopaminergic, cholinergic, and neurotrophic) continue to be investigated, usually in conjunction with behavioral treatments for aphasia. Instead of drugs, many aphasia patients benefit from intensive speech therapy.
