A genetic variation in the adenosine A2A receptor gene contributes to variability in oscillatory alpha power in wake and sleep EEG and A1 adenosine receptor availability in the human brain

This study identifies a genetic variant in ADORA2A associated with alpha power in EEG and A1 adenosine receptor availability in the human brain, with sex-specific effects observed.

Repeated Caffeine Intake Suppresses Cerebral Grey Matter Responses to Chronic Sleep Restriction in an A1 Adenosine Receptor-Dependent Manner.

This study shows that caffeine intake during chronic sleep restriction reduces grey matter volume, with effects modulated by A1 adenosine receptor availability.

Dorsal striatal dopamine induces fronto-cortical hypoactivity and implies reduced anxiety and compulsive behaviors in rats

The paper investigates the effects of dorsal striatal dopamine activation on CSTC circuit function in rats, finding reduced fronto-cortical activity and changes in behaviors related to anxiety and compulsive actions.
