Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 2017
In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

Electrical and Ca2+ signaling in dendritic spines of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

eLife, 2016
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.

Depopulation of dense α-synuclein aggregates is associated with rescue of dopamine neuron dysfunction and death in a new Parkinson's disease model.

, 2019
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the presence of α-synuclein aggregates known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, whose formation is linked to disease development. The causal relation between α-synuclein aggregates and PD is not well understood.

Active inference, evidence accumulation, and the urn task [PDF]

, 2015
Deciding how much evidence to accumulate before making a decision is a problem we and other animals often face, but one that is not completely understood.

The BE (2)-M17 cell line has a better dopaminergic phenotype than the traditionally used for Parkinson´s research SH-SY5Y, which is mostly serotonergic

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022
SH-SY5Y is a cell line derived from human neuroblastoma. It is one of the most widely used in vitro models to study Parkinson’s disease. Surprisingly, it has been found that it does not develop a dopaminergic phenotype after differentiation, questioning ...

A sex difference in mouse dopaminergic projections from the midbrain to basolateral amygdala

Biology of Sex Differences, 2022
Highlights Cell-type specific labeling of VTA-to-BLA dopaminergic axons and synaptic boutons in mice The intensity of dopaminergic innervation in BLA is intermediate between those in PFC and NAC Dopaminergic axon density in BLA and the size of BLA are ...

Anti-oxidants in Parkinson's disease therapy: a critical point of view [PDF]

, 2016
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological syndrome, which is characterized by the preferential death of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the SubstantiaNigra.

IAP-Based Cell Sorting Results in Homogeneous Transplantable Dopaminergic Precursor Cells Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2017
Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons can relieve motor deficits in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]

, 2016
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown,

Tracking Motor Progression and Device‐Aided Therapy Eligibility in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterise the progression of motor symptoms and identify eligibility for device‐aided therapies in Parkinson's disease, using both the 5‐2‐1 criteria and a refined clinical definition, while examining differences across genetic subgroups.
