Alpha-synuclein disrupted dopamine homeostasis leads to dopaminergic neuron degeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Disruption of dopamine homeostasis may lead to dopaminergic neuron degeneration, a proposed explanation for the specific vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. While expression of human alpha-synuclein in C.

Locus coeruleus and dopaminergic consolidation of everyday memory
Nature, 2016 The retention of episodic-like memory is enhanced, in humans and animals, when something novel happens shortly before or after encoding. Using an everyday memory task in mice, we sought the neurons mediating this dopamine-dependent novelty effect ...

THE DOPAMINERGIC SYSTEM IN HYPERTENSION
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2001 Dopamine exerts cardiovascular and renal actions mediated through interaction with specific dopamine receptors. Dopamine receptors are cell surface receptors coupled to G-proteins and classified into two main super families based on biochemical, pharmacological and molecular characteristics. The dopamine D1-like receptor super family includes D1 and D5

Caffeine and Primary (Migraine) Headaches—Friend or Foe?
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Background: The actions of caffeine as an antagonist of adenosine receptors have been extensively studied, and there is no doubt that both daily and sporadic dietary consumption of caffeine has substantial biological effects on the nervous system ...

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2018 Currently all aspects of Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment are less than ideal and would benefit from new interventions. We focus on problems associated with brain neurotransmitters amenable to more specific subreceptor and temporal manipulation.

Analytical Cellular Pathology, 2021 An increasing number of people are in a state of stress due to social and psychological pressures, which may result in mental disorders. Previous studies indicated that mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons are associated with not only reward-related ...

Brain neurons as quantum computers: {\it in vivo} support of background physics [PDF]
Internatioanl Journal of Modern Physics C: 14, 897-904 (2003), 2003 The question: whether quantum coherent states can sustain decoherence, heating and dissipation over time scales comparable to the dynamical timescales of the brain neurons, is actively discussed in the last years. Positive answer on this question is crucial, in particular, for consideration of brain neurons as quantum computers.

Cell Death and Differentiation, 2018 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and the reduction of dopamine levels in the striatum.
