Inter-hemispheric asymmetry of nigrostriatal dopaminergic lesion. A possible compensatory mechanism in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2011
The onset of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by focal motor features in one body part, which are usually correlated with greater dopaminergic depletion in the contralateral posterior putamen. The role of dopamine (DA) hemispheric differences in

Tetraspanin (TSP-17) Protects Dopaminergic Neurons against 6-OHDA-Induced Neurodegeneration in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, is linked to the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.

Characterization of the Sexually Dimorphic fruitless Neurons That Regulate Copulation Duration

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Male courtship in Drosophila melanogaster is a sexually dimorphic innate behavior that is hardwired in the nervous system. Understanding the neural mechanism of courtship behavior requires the anatomical and functional characterization of all the neurons

Peripheral Inflammation Enhances Microglia Response and Nigral Dopaminergic Cell Death in an in vivo MPTP Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The impact of systemic inflammation in nigral dopaminergic cell loss remains unclear. Here, we have investigated the role of peripheral inflammation induced by systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in the MPTP-based model of Parkinson’s ...

Neural differentiation of transplanted neural stem cells in a rat model of striatal lacunar infarction: light and electron microscopic observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
The increased risk and prevalence of lacunar stroke and Parkinson's disease makes the search for better experimental models an important requirement for translational research.

THE DOPAMINERGIC SYSTEM IN HYPERTENSION

open access: yesClinical 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

CIB1 protects against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity through inhibiting ASK1. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Calcium and integrin binding protein 1 (CIB1) is a calcium-binding protein that was initially identified as a binding partner of platelet integrin αIIb. Although CIB1 has been shown to interact with multiple proteins, its biological function in the brain

Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes neurogenesis in the diencephalospinal dopaminergic system of embryonic zebrafish

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to patterning, proliferation, and differentiation throughout vertebrate neural development. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for mammalian midbrain dopaminergic neurogenesis, while little is known about its role in

Dopaminergic nuclei in the chick midbrain express serotonin receptor subfamily genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a phylogenetically conserved modulator of numerous aspects of neural functions. Serotonergic neurons in the dorsal and median raphe nucleus provide ascending innervation to the entire forebrain and midbrain ...

Caffeine and Primary (Migraine) Headaches—Friend or Foe?

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
