unusual facts about Dopamine: My Life on My Back


Dopamine: My Life on My Back

According to Jesse Boykins III, "I was inspired to name the album Dopamine: My Life On My Back based on the series of songs I was writing. They all put me in a mood that I knew could be explained. I researched love, chemical love, and addiction and the word Dopamine was the end result. Dopamine is an endorphine in your body that makes you feel 'in Love'. It is also released when your addicted to something. Addicted ... to Love."


Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor

An aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor (synonyms: DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor, DDCI and AAADI) is a drug which inhibits the synthesis of dopamine by the enzyme aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD, or DOPA decarboxylase, DDC).

C20H27NO3

A-77636, a selective dopamine receptor D1 agonist

Carbidopa

The use of carbidopa seems counter-intuitive in Parkinson's disease (PD) in that it prevents DDC conversion of levodopa/L-DOPA to dopamine.

Chemical imbalance

An influential theory, known as the Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, proposed that a malfunction involving dopamine pathways was the cause of (the positive symptoms of) schizophrenia.

D2sh

Agonism of D2sh receptors inhibits dopamine release; antagonism increases dopaminergic release.

Derek van der Kooy

Previous studies have demonstrated that the opiate reward is mediated by a dopamine-independent reward system in nondependent animals, and by a dopamine-dependent reward system in dependent animals.

Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia

Dopamine related genes linked to psychosis in this way include COMT, DRD4, and AKT1.

Dopamine Records

Shumaker founded Dopamine as a cassette-only indie label in 1995 and merged with Maniatis' label Amalagate Records in 2000.

Dopamine-responsive dystonia

A mutation in the gene GCH1, which encodes the enzyme GTP cyclohydrolase I, disrupts the production of BH4, decreasing dopamine levels (hypodopaminergia).

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Similar situation was seen when the macaques were injected with MPTP injection as it reduces the level of Dopamine in the DLPFC.

Eric J. Nestler

"Essential role of BDNF in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway in social defeat stress."

ETS transcription factor family

In addition, Ets factors, e.g. the vertebrate Etv1 and the invertebrate Ast-1, have been shown to be important players in the specification and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in both C. elegans and olfactory bulbs of mice.

Jesse Boykins III

His first EP, Dopamine: My Life On My Back EP was released February 14, 2008 and his follow up The Beauty Created LP was released November 25, 2008 through NomaDic MuSic.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Dantrolene has been used when needed to reduce muscle rigidity, and more recently dopamine pathway medications such as bromocriptine have shown benefit.

ProSavin

Prosavin uses Oxford BioMedica's Lentivector delivery system to transfer three genes, aromatic amino acid dopa decarboxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and GTP-cyclohydrolase 1, to the striatum in the brain, reprogramming transduced cells to secrete dopamine.

Serotonin syndrome

Dopamine receptor blockade (NMS) has a slow onset and typically evolves over several days after administration of a neuroleptic drug and responds to dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine.

Sweet Valerian

Dopamine is a chemical in the brain which affects adrenalin and the functions of memory, attention, and problem-solving.
