| Abstract | Dopaminergic mechanisms have been suggested to play a role in migraine. Here, electrophysiological techniques were used to study the effects of intravenously administered centrally or peripherally active dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists on evoked firing in the trigeminocervical complex (TCC). After establishing baseline firing evoked by electrical stimulation of the dural middle meningeal artery (MMA) and mechanical noxious and innocuous stimulation of the ophthalmic dermatome, D(1)- or D(2)-like receptor agonists or antagonists were administered intravenously and the effect on firing was determined. In addition, with use of intravital microscopy, we monitored changes in dural vessel diameter in response to varying doses of D(1)- or D(2)-like receptor agonists to determine whether their effects were related to blood vessel caliber. The central D(2)-like receptor agonist quinpirole hydrochloride inhibited firing in the TCC evoked by stimulation of the MMA. Conversely, the central D(2)-like receptor antagonists, eticlopride hydrochloride and remoxipride hydrochloride, facilitated MMA-evoked firing and also firing evoked by noxious and innocuous stimulation of the ophthalmic dermatome. Both the peripheral D(1)-like receptor agonist fenoldopam and the central D(1)-like receptor agonists cis-(+/-)-1-(aminomethyl)-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-1H-2-benzopyran-5,6-diol hydrochloride (A68930 hydrochloride) and dihydrexidine facilitated innocuous brush-evoked firing, with A68930 hydrochloride having the greatest effect. The data suggest that dopamine binding to peripheral D(1)-like receptors may play a role in peripheral sensitization, and that the inhibitory or excitatory effects seen with administration of dopamine receptor agonists are independent of blood vessel changes. In addition, these studies maintain that central D(2)-like receptors inhibit trigeminocervical neurons, and may provide insight into the conflicting literature on the role of dopamine and its receptors in migraine. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
