Currently dopamine replacement medications, like levodopa and dopamine agonists, are the primary treatment for Parkinson's ...

Dopamine has long been known for its critical role in cue-reward associations, and new data provide a much richer and complex image of how dopaminergic neurons function. Making decisions about ...

Knock out expression of Nrg3 in the dopaminergic neurons increased dopaminergic terminals in the prefrontal cortex and Nucleus accumbens, also increased dopamine transients in the core of nucleus ...

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

Fly protein has protective effect on dopaminergic neurons Date: October 3, 2018 Source: Lehigh University Summary: A team recently identified the fruit fly protein known as Scarlet as a target ...

Reactive astrocytes in SNpc produce excessive GABA via MAO-B in animal models of PD. Aberrant tonic inhibition of dopaminergic neurons causes reduced dopamine production in neurons and motor deficits.
