A team of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (D.T.U.) and University of Oxford have for the first time identified the molecular structure of dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), the ...

Classical criteria on neuronal diversity in the hypothalamus use neuropeptides 19, and, less frequently, fast neurotransmitters as identifying marks for functionally specialized neuronal pools 20 ...

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen recently described the structure of the dopamine transporter (DAT) involved in cocaine use at the molecular level. 1 Their findings, which were ...

Scientists have long known that cocaine works by latching on to molecular connectors on the surface of brain cells, allowing dopamine, a chemical that promotes feelings of pleasure and reward, ...
