Determinants of dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson's disease
The cardinal motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are caused by the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Alpha‐synuclein (aSYN) pathology and mitochondrial dysfunction have been implicated in PD pathogenesis ...

Damage to dopaminergic neurons by oxidative stress in Parkinson's disease (Review).
Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a central event contributing to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is implicated as a causative factor

Two eARCHT3.0 Lines for Optogenetic Silencing of Dopaminergic and Serotonergic Neurons
Dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons modulate and control processes ranging from reward signaling to regulation of motor outputs. Further, dysfunction of these neurons is involved in both degenerative and psychiatric disorders.

Rapid signaling in distinct dopaminergic axons during locomotion and reward
Dopaminergic projection axons from the midbrain to the striatum are crucial for motor control, as their degeneration in Parkinson disease results in profound movement deficits. Paradoxically, most recording methods report rapid phasic dopamine signalling

Beta burst dynamics in Parkinson’s disease OFF and ON dopaminergic medication
Exaggerated basal ganglia beta activity (13–35 Hz) is commonly found in patients with Parkinson’s disease and can be suppressed by dopaminergic medication, with the degree of suppression being correlated with the improvement in motor symptoms ...

Electrical and Ca2+ signaling in dendritic spines of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons
Little is known about the density and function of dendritic spines on midbrain dopamine neurons, or the relative contribution of spine and shaft synapses to excitability.

Dopaminergic Mechanisms in Adhd
Investigators at Addenbrooke's Hospital, University of Cambridge, UK, and centers in Germany and France examined the neural mechanisms underlying attention deficits associated with ADHD and their reversal with a single dose of methylphenidate (MPH).
