Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

The primary pathogenic identifiers of Parkinson's disease include the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons (DNs) in the substantia nigra and the creation of Lewy bodies. Studies have shown that ...

A study found that rebamipide, used as a treatment for gastrointestinal diseases, is effective in protecting nerve cells and alleviating brain inflammation, so it may be used to treat brain diseases ...

Fifty years of outstanding neuroscience research studies have revealed many secrets of how drugs of abuse affect and change ...

This study provides important findings on the neural circuits underlying dishabituation of the olfactory avoidance response in Drosophila. The data as presented provide solid evidence that the ...

AMSBIO has launched a comprehensive range of Quick-Neuron™ differentiation kits, designed to simplify and accelerate the ...

Animal studies have demonstrated that nicotine can protect dopaminergic neurons, which are the brain cells that are damaged in Parkinson's disease. In laboratory models, exposure to nicotine before or ...

But we reach a point where the patient has lost most of their dopaminergic neurons and there is not much more that can be offered today to help the individual.

In dopaminergic neurons from the SN, MCI-Park mice at postnatal day 40 exhibited differences compared to wild-type mice in expression of genes (using the RiboTag approach) related to axonal growth and ...

Dopaminergic neurons are essential for regulating a wide range of functions, including reward processing, learning, and locomotion. A specific subset – dopaminergic descending neurons (DADNs) – ...

The dopaminergic neurons are grown in a lab and then transplanted into the brain. Immunosuppressant, or anti-rejection, drugs help calm the immune system down so it doesn’t destroy the newly ...

Midbrain dopaminergic neurons are abundantly located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The nigrostriatal projection of dopaminergic neurons from the ...
