Oyegbami, O., Collins, H. M., Pardon, M., Ebling, F. J., Heery, D. M., & Moran, P. M. (2017). Abnormal clock gene expression and locomotor activity rhythms in two month-old female APPSwe/PS1dE9 mice. Current Alzheimer Research, 14(8), 850-860. https://doi.org/10.2174/1567205014666170317113159

In addition to cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is also characterized by agitation and disruptions in activity and sleep. These symptoms typically occur in the evening or at night and have been referred to as ‘sundowning’. These symptoms a...

Potentiation of latent inhibition by haloperidol and clozapine is attenuated in Dopamine D2 receptor (Drd-2) deficient mice: Do antipsychotics influence learning to ignore irrelevant stimuli via both Drd-2 and non-Drd-2 mechanisms? (2014)

O'Callaghan, M., Bay-Richter, C., O’ Tuathaigh, C. M., Heery, D. M., Waddington, J., & Moran, P. M. (2014). Potentiation of latent inhibition by haloperidol and clozapine is attenuated in Dopamine D2 receptor (Drd-2) deficient mice: Do antipsychotics influence learning to ignore irrelevant stimuli via both Drd-2 and non-Drd-2 mechanisms?.

Whether the dopamine Drd-2 receptor is necessary for the behavioural action of antipsychotic drugs is an important question, as Drd-2 antagonism is responsible for their debilitating motor side effects. Using Drd-2 null mice (Drd2 -/-) it has previou...
