Efficient conversion of astrocytes to functional midbrain dopaminergic neurons using a single polycistronic vector.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Direct cellular reprogramming is a powerful new tool for regenerative medicine. In efforts to understand and treat Parkinson's Disease (PD), which is marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, direct reprogramming provides a ...

Sustained chemogenetic activation of locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons promotes dopaminergic neuron survival in synucleinopathy

PLoS ONE, 2022
Dopaminergic neuron degeneration in the midbrain plays a pivotal role in motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. However, non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and post-mortem histopathology confirm dysfunction in other brain areas ...

Orexinergic Input to Dopaminergic Neurons of the Human Ventral Tegmental Area [PDF]

, 2013
The mesolimbic reward pathway arising from dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been strongly implicated in reward processing and drug abuse.

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

Molecular 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 ...

Co-Expression of Nogo-A in Dopaminergic Neurons of the Human Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta Is Reduced in Parkinson’s Disease

Cells, 2021
Parkinson’s disease is mainly characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Together with the small number, the high vulnerability of the dopaminergic neurons is a major pathogenic culprit of Parkinson’

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

Analytical 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 ...

Dopaminergic nuclei in the chick midbrain express serotonin receptor subfamily genes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a phylogenetically conserved modulator of numerous aspects of neural functions. Serotonergic neurons in the dorsal and median raphe nucleus provide ascending innervation to the entire forebrain and midbrain ...

Function and Regulation of ALDH1A1-Positive Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons in Motor Control and Parkinson’s Disease

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Dopamine is an important chemical messenger in the brain, which modulates movement, reward, motivation, and memory. Different populations of neurons can produce and release dopamine in the brain and regulate different behaviors.

Aging-related motor function and dopaminergic neuronal loss in C57BL/6 mice

Molecular Brain, 2020
Aging-related dopaminergic neuronal loss and its motor phenotypes are well known. Excessive loss of dopaminergic neurons leads to Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine ...
