Local cerebral blood flow (CBF) was determined in 30 cerebral structures, including four structures of the whisker-to-barrel cortex sensory pathway, by the quantitative autoradiographic [14C]iodoantipyrine method during unilateral vibrissal stimulation in rats administered 0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg haloperidol or its control vehicle intravenously. The low dose of haloperidol had no significant effects on resting CBF or its enhancement by vibrissal stimulation. By standard t tests, the high dose… 
Haloperidol modulates midbrain-prefrontal functional connectivity in the rat brain
A functional MRI study of the effects of bromocriptine, a dopamine receptor agonist, on component processes of working memory
TLDR
Testing the effects of the D2 dopamine agonist bromocriptine during the performance of a delayed recognition task using functional magnetic resonance imaging suggested that hyperdopaminergic stimulation may have reduced stimulus encoding processes, contributing to impaired performance.
Neurovascular coupling is brain region-dependent
Dopamine Receptors and the Persistent Neurovascular Dysregulation Induced by Methamphetamine Self-Administration in Rats
TLDR
The data provide novel evidence that Meth-induced striatal neurovascular dysregulation involves DA receptor signaling that results in vasoconstriction via endothelin receptor A and nitric oxide signaling and provide a mechanistic explanation for the selective striatal toxicity observed in the brains of Meth-abusing humans.
Striatal dopamine and working memory.
TLDR
Examination of WM capacity, dopamine, and PFC function in healthy older participants provides new evidence that striatal dopaminergic function is related to PFC-dependent functions, particularly brain activation and behavioral performance during WM tasks.
Differences Between Cerebrovascular and Anti-Ischemic Effects of Dopamine, Docosahexaenoyldopamine, and GABA–Docosahexaenoyldopamine Conjugate
TLDR
Convugation of a neuromediator (GABA) to the DHA-DA changed the dopaminergic activity of the compound to GABA-ergic with respect to vascular tone in ischemic brain.

Increases in local cerebral blood flow associated with somatosensory activation are not mediated by NO.
TLDR
The results indicate that NO does not mediate the increases in LCBF associated with functional activation, and L-NAME is the preferred treatment.
Cerebral circulation: effect of stimulation and blockade of dopamine receptors.
TLDR
The effects of stimulation and blockade of dopaminergic receptors on cerebral blood flow and metabolism were investigated in anesthetized baboons and it is suggested that the primary action of apomorphine is on cerebral metabolism and secondarily on cerebralBlood flow rather than directly on cerebral vascular smooth muscle.
Distribution of effects of haloperidol on energy metabolism in the rat brain
Local cerebral blood flow in the dog during intravenous infusion of dopamine.
TLDR
The changes in local cerebral blood flow induced by dopamine were similar at the different locations; i.e., the caudate nucleus, thalamus, frontal and parietal cortex, indicating vascular dopamine receptors in the brain with a dilating effect.
Coupled forebrain increases of local cerebral glucose utilization and blood flow during physiologic stimulation of a somatosensory pathway in the rat
TLDR
There was an overall preservation of metabolism/blood flow coupling during periods of somatosensory activation despite small but significant increases in the coupling ratio of the barrel field.
Haloperidol and Cerebral Metabolism in the Conscious Rat: Relation to Pharmacokinetics
TLDR
Results show that haloperidol has an effect on CNS metabolic activity that is more widespread than would be predicted from the topography of the dopaminergic system; this may be due to indirect propagation of the primary effects of haloperIDol.
Effects of dopaminergic agonists and antagonists on isolated cerebral blood vessels.
TLDR
The vasomotor response of dopamine and dopaminergic agonists was studied in vitro on middle cerebral arteries from cat and pial arteries from humans and indicated that the vasodilatation is mediated by specific dopamine receptors.
Influence of dopaminergic systems on the lateral habenular nucleus of the rat
Dopaminergic regulation of cerebral cortical microcirculation
TLDR
It is reported that dopamine, a neurotransmitter normally associated with neuromodulatory actions, may directly affect local cortical blood flow and it is shown that dopaminergic axons innervate the intraparenchymal microvessels.
