Cholecystokinin (CCK) is one of the most abundant neurotransmitter peptides in the brain. CCK appears to play an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety and panic disorders (PD) in both humans and animals. Recently, we reported that lack of CCKAR had a significant anxiogenic-like effect in rat

reported the existence of an association between schizophrenia and homozygosity of a BUZZ polymorphism in the first exon of the dopamine D3 receptor (DRDS) gene. In response to this report, further studies were conducted; however, these studies yielded conflicting results. In the present study, we e
The dopamine D4 receptor is of major interest in schizophrenia research due to its high affinity for the atypical neuroleptic clozapine and a high degree of variability in the receptor gene (DRD4). Although several genetic linkage analyses performed on schizophrenia multiplex families from different
