Dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) are G protein–coupled receptors that modulate synaptic transmission and play an important role in various brain functions including affect learning and working memory. Abnormal D2R signaling has been implicated in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. Here we report a new function of D2R in dendritic spine morphogenesis. Activation of D2R reduces spine number via GluN2B– and cAMP–dependent mechanisms in mice. Notably, this regulation takes place only during adolescence. During this period, D2R overactivation caused by mutations in the schizophrenia–risk–gene dysbindin leads to spine deficiency, dysconnectivity within the entorhinal–hippocampal circuit and impairment of spatial working memory. Notably, these defects can be ameliorated by D2R blockers administered during adolescence. These findings uncover a novel age–dependent function of D2R in spine development, provide evidence that D2R dysfunction during adolescence impairs neuronal circuits and working memory, and suggest that adolescent interventions of aberrant D2R activity protect against cognitive impairment.
