Determinants of dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2018
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 ...

Dopaminergic Retinal Cell Loss and Visual Dysfunction in Parkinson Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, 2020
Considering the demonstrated implication of the retina in Parkinson disease (PD) pathology and the importance of dopaminergic cells in this tissue, we aimed to analyze the state of the dopaminergic amacrine cells and some of their main postsynaptic ...

Levosulpiride-induced neurological adverse effects: A prospective study from a tertiary care center

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2020
Background: Levosulpiride (LS) is a prokinetic drug increasingly used for the gastric motility disorders. Despite its common use for the gastric motility disorder, the tendency to cause parkinsonism and acute dystonias are under-recognized as the major ...

Establishment of an in vitro model for analyzing mitochondrial ultrastructure in PRKN-mutated patient iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
Mitochondrial structural changes are associated with the regulation of mitochondrial function, apoptosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. PRKN is known to be involved with various mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control including mitochondrial ...

Discriminating depression, physical and social anhedonia by neurotransmitter related challenge tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aim of this study was to investigate, if anhedonia, a salient component of depression, shows similar response patterns to neurotransmitter challenge tests as depression, and if the two questionnaire based components Physical (PA) and Social (SA ...

MPTP-driven NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglia plays a central role in dopaminergic neurodegeneration

open access: yesCell 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.

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

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Is Associated with the Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neuron Injury in Stressed Rats

open access: yesAnalytical 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 ...

Task-load-dependent activation of dopaminergic midbrain areas in the absence of reward [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Dopamine release in cortical and subcortical structures plays a central role in reward-related neural processes. Within this context, dopaminergic inputs are commonly assumed to play an activating role, facilitating behavioral and cognitive operations ...

The Role of Dopamine in Anticipatory Pursuit Eye Movements: Insights from Genetic Polymorphisms in Healthy Adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is a long history of eye movement research in patients with psychiatric diseases for which dysfunctions of neurotransmission are considered to be the major pathologic mechanism.
