An aversion to harming others is a core component of human morality and is disturbed in antisocial behavior. Deficient harm aversion may underlie instrumental and reactive aggression, which both feature in psychopathy. Past work has highlighted monoaminergic influences on aggression

L-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)alanine (DOPA) and its 3-O-methyl metabolite (OMD) were measured in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by a new assay which combines N,O-acetylation of amino acids in aqueous media, preparation of pentafluorobenzyl esters under anhydrous conditions, and analysis by gas chromatography-electron capture

In Parkinson disease (PD), long-term treatment with the dopamine precursor levodopa gradually induces involuntary "dyskinesia" movements. The neural mechanisms underlying the emergence of levodopa-induced dyskinesias in vivo are still poorly understood. Here, we applied functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to

The treatment of motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) with the dopamine (DA) precursor, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) introduced 50years ago still remains a very effective medication. However, involuntary movements termed l-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID) appear in the vast majority of PD patients
