Purkinje Cell Loss in Essential Tremor: Collective Data From 215 Brains Over a 21‐Year Period
ABSTRACT Objective Essential tremor is a highly prevalent movement disorder. Pathological changes observed in essential tremor cerebella center around Purkinje cells and neighboring neuronal populations. Postmortem studies have variably, but not always, shown reduced Purkinje cell counts in essential tremor compared to controls.

Plasma functionalized surface of commodity polymers for dopamine detection [PDF]
We have fabricated potentially generalizable sensors based on polymeric-modified electrodes for the electrochemical detection of dopamine. Sensitive and selective sensors have been successfully obtained by applying a cold-plasma treatment during 1–2 min ...

Accelerated Progression of Gait Impairment in Parkinson's Disease and REM Sleep Without Atonia
ABSTRACT Objective People with Parkinson's disease (PD) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep without atonia (RSWA) often have more severe gait disturbances compared to PD without RSWA. The association between the presence and expression of RSWA and the rate of progression of gait impairment in PD is unknown.

Multimodal detection of dopamine by sniffer cells expressing genetically encoded fluorescent sensors
Dopamine sensor cell lines expressing fluorescent reporters are developed. This versatile tool can record endogenous dopamine release from cultured neurons and striatal slices, determine dopamine tissue content, and detect dopamine uptake and efflux.

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Cigarette Use and Striatal Dopamine D2/3 Receptors: Possible Role in the Link between Smoking and Nicotine Dependence. [PDF]
BackgroundCigarette smoking induces dopamine release in the striatum, and smoking- or nicotine-induced ventral striatal dopamine release is correlated with nicotine dependence.

RAB39B Related Parkinsonism in an Italian Family: A Unique Use of Advanced Therapies
ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that may sometimes be caused by deleterious genetic variants. Among them, RAB39B polymorphisms are known as rare causes of early‐onset PD associated with intellectual disability (Waisman's syndrome).

Dopamine receptors gene expression in male rat hippocampus after administration of MDMA (Ecstasy) [La Expresión Génica de Receptores de Dopamina en el Hipocampo de Ratas Macho Después de la Administración de MDMA (Éxtasis)] [PDF]
Ecstasy is one of the most popular amusing drugs among young people. Documents indicate some effects of Ecstasy on hippocampus and close relations between dopaminergic functions with reward learning. Therefore, the aim of this study was evaluation of the
