Alteration of colonic excitatory tachykininergic motility and enteric inflammation following dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurodegeneration [PDF]
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including constipation and defecatory dysfunctions. The mechanisms underlying such disorders are still largely unknown, although the occurrence of a bowel ...

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

The Dopaminergic Midbrain Encodes the Expected Certainty about Desired Outcomes [PDF]
Dopamine plays a key role in learning; however, its exact function in decision making and choice remains unclear. Recently, we proposed a generic model based on active (Bayesian) inference wherein dopamine encodes the precision of beliefs about optimal ...

Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffolds enhance dopaminergic differentiation of mouse pluripotent stem cells in 3-dimensional culture. [PDF]
Dopaminergic differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) gains more and more attention worldwide owing to its potential use for neurorestorative therapy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Five-year follow-up of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in advanced Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background: Although the short-term benefits of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease have been well documented, the long-term outcomes of the procedure are unknown. Methods: We conducted a five-

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.

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 ...

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.

Dopaminergic symptoms in migraine [PDF]
Migraine pain is often preceded, accompanied and followed by dopaminergic symptoms (premonitory yawning and somnolence, accompanying nausea and vomiting, postdromal somnolence, euphoria and polyuria). After reviewing evidence from pharmacological, biochemical, genetic and animal experimental studies on the relationship between dopamine and migraine ...
