    Paul D Shepard
    Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine, PO Box 21247, Baltimore, MD 21228, USA
    Neuropsychopharmacology 28:1454-62. 2003
    ..These observations indicate that the disruption in auditory processing in rats with greatly elevated KYNA levels is not attributable to the compound's antagonist actions at the glycine(B) receptor...
  2. ncbi Ether-a-go-go-related gene potassium channels: what's all the buzz about?
    Paul D Shepard
    Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21228, USA
    Schizophr Bull 33:1263-9. 2007
    ..This change in excitability would be expected to alter dopamine release. Therefore, the therapeutic action of antipsychotic drugs may depend on inhibition of both postsynaptic dopamine receptors and presynaptic ERG K(+) channels...
  3. ncbi Schizophrenia in translation: the presence of absence: habenular regulation of dopamine neurons and the encoding of negative outcomes
    Paul D Shepard
    Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA
    Schizophr Bull 32:417-21. 2006
    ..Collectively, these data suggest that the habenula may play a critical role in mediating the feedback-processing deficits of schizophrenia...

    Behav Brain Res 156:251-61. 2005
    ..Interestingly, the behaviors that are altered have been used to validate animal models of schizophrenia and therefore, suggest that this preparation may be useful to learn more about some aspects of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia...

    J Neurosci 27:6923-30. 2007
    ..The habenulomesencephalic pathway, which is capable of transiently suppressing the activity of dopamine neurons at a population level, may represent an important component of the circuitry involved in encoding reward expectancy...

    Brain Res 1002:129-35. 2004
    ..Taken together, these findings indicate that the observed increase in brain KYNA is not responsible for CSD-induced tolerance to malonate-induced neuronal damage...
