Temporal-spatial changes in Sonic Hedgehog expression and signaling reveal different potentials of ventral mesencephalic progenitors to populate distinct ventral midbrain nuclei [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The ventral midbrain contains a diverse array of neurons, including dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra (SN) and neurons of the red nucleus (RN).

Immediate early gene expression in the mesopontine tegmentum and midbrain after acute or chronic nicotine administration [PDF]

, 2008
The reinforcing properties of nicotine depend partly on cholinergic projections from the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPTg) and laterodorsal tegmental (LDTg) nuclei to midbrain dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars

Perineuronal Nets and GABAergic cells in the Inferior Colliculus of Guinea Pigs

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
Perineuronal nets (PNs) are aggregates of extracellular matrix that have been associated with neuronal plasticity, critical periods, fast-spiking cells and protection from oxidative stress.

Sex-specific disruption of murine midbrain astrocytic and dopaminergic developmental trajectories following antenatal GC treatment [PDF]

, 2015
The mammalian midbrain dopaminergic systems arising in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) are critical for coping behaviours and are implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders where early life challenges comprise ...

Sensory prediction errors in the human midbrain signal identity violations independent of perceptual distance

eLife, 2019
The firing of dopaminergic midbrain neurons is thought to reflect prediction errors (PE) that depend on the difference between the value of expected and received rewards.

Mesencephalic basolateral domain specification is dependent on Sonic Hedgehog

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
In the study of central nervous system morphogenesis, the identification of new molecular markers allows us to identify domains along the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral axes.

Leptin and Insulin Signaling in Dopaminergic Neurons: Relationship between Energy Balance and Reward System

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The central actions of leptin and insulin are essential for the regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis. In addition to the crucial effects on the hypothalamus, emerging evidence suggests that the leptin and insulin signaling can act on other brain ...

Neurosensory development of the four brainstem-projecting sensory systems and their integration in the telencephalon

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
Somatosensory, taste, vestibular, and auditory information is first processed in the brainstem. From the brainstem, the respective information is relayed to specific regions within the cortex, where these inputs are further processed and integrated with ...

Palmitate and Stearate are Increased in the Plasma in a 6-OHDA Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Metabolites, 2019
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, without any widely available curative therapy. Metabolomics is a powerful tool which can be used to identify unexpected pathway-related disease progression
