Now associating ho.mose.xuality with «behavioral abnormalities» seems to be a stretch and I would think that any correlation between gay orientation and «maldevelopment of prefrontal cortical and
ventral striatal dopamine systems» would be well docu.mented by now.
Thus, our results showing no differences in D2 / D3 receptor availability (except for a trend in
ventral striatum), using a larger sample (24 marijuana abusers) than that used for studies that identified reductions in
striatal D2 / D3 receptors in alcoholics and cocaine abusers, indicate that marijuana abusers, different from other drug abusers, do not show significant
striatal D2 / D3 receptor reductions.
NeuroStemcell is focused on the identification and systematic comparison of progenitor cell lines with the most favourable characteristics for mesDA and
striatal GABAergic neuronal differentiation, generated either directly from human embryonic stem (ES) cells, from Neural Stem (NS) cells derived from ES cells or fetal brain, from induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells or from in vitro short - term expanded neural progenitors from
ventral midbrain grown as neurospheres (VMN, Ventral Midbrain Neurospheres) 4, and perform rigorous and systematic testing of the most prominent candidate cells in appropriate animals
