Discrimination vs. Generation: The Machine Learning Dichotomy for Dopaminergic Hit Discovery [PDF]
Virtual screening plays a pivotal role in early drug discovery, traditionally dominated by physics-based methods. While these approaches offer detailed insights, they are often hindered by high computational costs, limited sampling, and forcefield inaccuracies.

Dopaminergic neurons are the predominant brain cells affected in Parkinson’s disease. With the limited availability of live human brain dopaminergic neurons to study pathological mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, dopaminergic neurons have been generated

Influence of nicotine and alcohol on sleep latency: the reward-attention circuit model [PDF]
We previously developed a neurocomputational model called the reward-attention circuit, which has been used to investigate the separate effects of nicotine and alcohol on attention focus. The model is based on known circuits linking midbrain dopaminergic neurons to the thalamocortical loop and is sufficiently versatile to capture diverse phenomena.

miR-34b/c Regulates Wnt1 and Enhances Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neuron Differentiation
Summary: The differentiation of dopaminergic neurons requires concerted action of morphogens and transcription factors acting in a precise and well-defined time window. Very little is known about the potential role of microRNA in these events.
