Tuberoinfundibular neurons: Dopaminergic and norepinephrinergic sensitivity

Brain Research, 1975
The techniques of microelectrophoresis and antidromic identification have been utilized in the female rat anesthetized with urethane to localize the tuberoinfundibular neurons and to determine their pharmacological sensitivity to dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and glutamate (GLUT).

How to make a mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neuron

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2007
Dopaminergic neurons located in the ventral mesodiencephalon are essential for the control of voluntary movement and the regulation of emotion, and are severely affected in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Recent advances in molecular biology and mouse genetics have helped to unravel the mechanisms involved in the development of ...

The organization of dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic mesencephalo-cortical neurons in the rat

Brain Research, 1982
The dopamine containing mesencephalo-cortical pathway was studied in the rat by means of a combined retrograde fluorescent tracing and catecholamine histofluorescence technique. After large injections of the fluorescent retrograde tracer, Evans blue, into the frontal cortex, many neural somata of the ventral midbrain tegmentum were retrogradely labeled;

Development of dopaminergic neurons in the mammalian brain

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 2006
Dopaminergic neurons in the mammalian brain have received substantial attention in the past given their fundamental role in several body functions and behaviours. The largest dopaminergic population is found in two nuclei of the ventral midbrain. Cells of the substantia nigra pars compacta are involved in the control of voluntary movements and postural

Dopaminergic Regulation of Septohippocampal Cholinergic Neurons

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1994
Abstract: The extent to which acetylcholine (ACh) release in the hippocampus is regulated by dopaminergic mechanisms was assessed using in vivo microdialysis in freely moving rats. Systemic administration of the dopamine (DA) receptor agonist apomorphine (1.0 mg/kg) or the specific D1 agonist CY 208–243 (1.0 mg/kg) increased microdialysate ...

Burst firing in midbrain dopaminergic neurons

Brain Research Reviews, 1997
Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons fire bursts of activity in response to sensory stimuli, including those associated with primary reward. They are therefore conditional bursters - the bursts conveying, amongst other things, motivationally relevant information to the forebrain. In the forebrain, bursts give rise to a supra-additive release of dopamine,

Dopaminergic neurons in sympathetic ganglia of the dog

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1982
Abstract A study has been made of the catecholamine content of various canine sympathetic ganglia. The data have been related to the anatomical location of ganglion cells supplying the kidney and hindpaw. Retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase from filaments of the renal nerve labelled cell bodies in the ipsilateral renal and ...

Genetic control of dopaminergic neuron differentiation

Trends in Neurosciences, 2005
The mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) system controls movement and emotional behaviour, and its degeneration causes Parkinson's disease and other psychiatric disorders. Recent findings are leading to better understanding of the genetic control of generation and functioning of the mesDA system.

Are Chemoreceptor Neurons Dopaminergic?

1990
In 1983, two independent groups reported the occurrence of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) containing primary afferent neurons in some lumbar dorsal root ganglia as well as in the glossopharyngeal and vagal sensory ganglia of the rat (Price and Mudge, 1983; Katz et al., 1983).

Stress, prolactin and hypothalamic dopaminergic neurons

Neuropharmacology, 1987
Most of what is known about dopamine (DA)-containing neurons in the brain has been learned from studies on the nigrostriatal system, although it is misleading to consider a neuron in this system as a "model" for other DA neurons in the brain. In this presentation the properties of nigrostriatal DA neurons are compared with those hypothalamic DA neurons
