Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dopamine (DA) plays an important role in a number of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. While medications targeting the dopaminergic system have shown potential for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and addictions, a better understanding of the complexities within the dopaminergic system is much needed to identify treatments that can effectively benefit a larger proportion of patients. The intricacies between the dopaminergic system, individual variability, and disease complexities underscore the need for continued research and refinement of therapeutic strategies.
In this Special Issue, titled ‘Role of the Dopamine System in Brain Disorders’, we encourage submissions of original research and reviews that address the molecular, cellular, physiological, psychological, or environmental roles of dopamine in brain disorders or the interactive effects of other biological signaling pathways on the dopamine system.
