Interleukin-2 Treatment Induces an Acquired Behavioral Response Pattern (Repetitive Stereotyped Movements) Mediated by Dopamine D1 and D2 Receptors

Ankur S. Patel & Steven S. Zalcman · International Neuropsychiatric Disease Journal · 2014

Interleukin (IL)-2 is implicated in the etiology of psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, psychosis) involving an increased expression of repetitive stereotyped movements. However, little is known about the underlying pharmacological mechanisms or behavioral processes. Of f...

Soluble Cytokine Receptor Subunits Modulate Catecholaminergic Cell Activity

Ankur Patel, Jagadeesh Batana, Ishdeep Narang & Steven S. Zalcman · International Neuropsychiatric Disease Journal · 2014

Soluble cytokine receptors (SCR) modulate cytokine signaling and are increased in states of abnormal immune activation. SCR’s are also increased in psychiatric and neurological disorders associated with altered brain catecholaminergic activity; although, there is no evidence that...
