Using Computational and Neurobiological Methods to Characterise the Stimulant Properties of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) at the Dopamine Transporter

Abstract: The Neurokinin-1 Receptor (NK1R) is a G-protein coupled receptor activated by small neuropeptides of the tachykinin family. Its main agonist, Substance P (SP), was described in 1931 and has since been associated with pain, depression, nausea, inflammation, and immune responses.
