(East Carolina University, 2008-10)This study examined whether self-efficacy mediated the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain and disability. Participants were 192 individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knees who were overweight ... -
Dopamine D3 receptor dysfunction prevents anti-nociceptive effects of morphine in the spinal cord
(2014-06)Abstract Dopamine (DA) modulates spinal reflexes, including nociceptive reflexes, in part via the D3 receptor subtype. We have previously shown that mice lacking the functional D3 receptor (D3KO) exhibit decreased paw ... -
Dopaminergic modulation of the autonomic nervous system: in vitro and in vivo evidence from the mouse
(East Carolina University, 2012)Central nervous system (CNS) function depends on both the connections between the underlying neurons and neural circuits and their activity. Neuronal activity in turn can be classified as neurotransmission and neuromodulation, ... -
