Propranolol Relieves L-Dopa-Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinsonian Mice
Brain Sciences, 2020 Background: Parkinsonism is caused by dopamine (DA) insufficiency and results in a hypokinetic movement disorder. Treatment with L-Dopa can restore DA availability and improve motor function, but patients can develop L-Dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), a ...

An essential role of acetylcholine-glutamate synergy at habenular synapses in nicotine dependence
eLife, 2015 A great deal of interest has been focused recently on the habenula and its critical role in aversion, negative-reward and drug dependence. Using a conditional mouse model of the ACh-synthesizing enzyme choline acetyltransferase (Chat), we report that ...

The Mesoscopic Connectome of the Cholinergic Pontomesencephalic Tegmentum
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 The pontomesencephalic tegmentum, comprising the pedunculopontine nucleus and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, is involved in various functions via complex connections; however, the organizational structure of these circuits in the whole brain is not ...

The Autonomic Nervous System Pulls the Strings to Coordinate Circadian HSC Functions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 As for many other adult stem cells, the behavior of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is subjected to circadian regulatory patterns. Multiple HSPC functions, such as proliferation, differentiation or trafficking exhibit time-dependent ...
