L-dopa remains the most common treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, there is considerable interest in D3/D2 receptor agonists such as the novel agent S32504, since they exert antiparkinsonian properties in the absence of dyskinesia. An important question concerns the roles of D2 vs. D3 recept
A behavioral study was performed in an attempt to understand the neuronal mechanisms involved in yawning behavior in rats. Subcutaneous injections of low doses of apomorphine (0.054.25 mg/kg) or piribedil (0.2-1.0 mg/kg), which preferentially activate presynaptic dopamine autoreceptors at those dose
