Modulatory effects of Hizikia fusiformis on the dopaminergic system in a neonatal habenular lesion-induced attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder-like rodent model

Key Points

• Hizikia fusiformis acts as a modulator of dopamine receptors, particularly DRD2 and DRD5, influencing the dopaminergic system.
• The study highlights potential anti-ADHD effects linked to the modulation of dopamine pathways in a rodent model.
• Analysis identifies the neuropharmacological properties of Hizikia fusiformis in the context of ADHD-like behaviors in neonatal rodents.
• Further investigation is needed to clarify the mechanisms by which Hizikia fusiformis exerts its effects on neuropsychiatric disorders.
