Ritalin verändert das Gehirn
« on: March 09, 2010, 05:04:25 AM »

... durch Wirkung auf zwei unterschiedliche Dopamin-Rezeptoren, D1 und D2.

Es geht um eine tierexperimentelle Studie!

Die Studie bestätigt damit, dass Methylphenidat eine doppelte Wirkung auf die Aufmerksamkeitsstörung und auf kognitive Leistungen hat. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass Ritalin nicht nur zur Behandlung der ADHS eingesetzt wird, sondern zunehmend ein Missbrauch zur Steigerung kognitiver Leistungen stattfindet. Die Erkenntnis, dass beide Wirkungen über unterschiedliche Rezeptoren vermittelt werden, könnte zur Entwicklung neuer gezielter Wirkstoffe führen.

Methylphenidate facilitates learning-induced amygdala plasticity.

Although methylphenidate (Ritalin) has been used therapeutically for nearly 60 years, the mechanisms by which it acutely modifies behavioral performance are poorly understood. Here we combined intra-lateral amygdala in vivo pharmacology and ex vivo electrophysiology to show that acute administration of methylphenidate, as well as a selective dopamine transporter inhibitor, facilitated learning-induced strengthening of cortico-amygdala synapses through a postsynaptic increase in AMPA receptor-mediated currents, relative to those in saline-treated rats. Furthermore, local administration of methylphenidate in the lateral amygdala enhanced cue-reward learning through dopamine D1 receptor-dependent mechanisms and suppressed task-irrelevant behavior through D2 receptor-dependent mechanisms. These findings reveal critical and distinct roles for dopamine receptor subtypes in mediating methylphenidate-induced enhancements of neural transmission and learning performance.
