Question
Receptors for this molecule contain two binding pockets that both interact with the agonist Rotigotine. Apo-morphine is a non-selective agonist of this molecule that is involved in the nigro-striatal pathway. The mesolimbic pathway directs this molecule from the VTA in the midbrain to the nucleus accumbens (“a-cum-bens”) and amygdala. This catecholamine is a precursor to norepinephrine. This neurotransmitter is deficient in those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Addiction to cocaine primarily decreases reuptake of this neurotransmitter. For 10 points, name this neurotransmitter involved in the reward pathway that, alongside serotonin, causes the brain to feel pleasure. ■END■
