Abstract Background Glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is required for development and survival of dopaminergic neurons. A previous trial evaluating lower‐dose adeno‐associated virus serotype 2–GDNF (AAV2‐GDNF) bilateral intraputaminal infusion in participants with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) achieved 26% mean putaminal coverage ...

Cholinergic System Changes in Dopa‐Unresponsive Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating mobility disturbance that becomes increasingly resistant to dopaminergic pharmacotherapies with advancing Parkinson's disease (PD). The pathophysiology underlying the response of FoG to dopaminergic treatment is poorly understood.

Corticospinal Tract Development, Evolution, and Skilled Movements
Abstract The evolution of the corticospinal tract (CST) is closely linked to the development of skilled voluntary movements in mammals. The main evolutionary divergence concerns the position of the CST within the spinal cord white matter and its postsynaptic targets in the grey matter.

Recent Developments in the Optical Control of Adrenergic Signaling
ABSTRACT Adrenoceptors (ARs) play a vital role in various physiological processes and are key therapeutic targets. The advent of optical control techniques, including optogenetics and photopharmacology, offers the potential to modulate AR signaling with precise temporal and spatial resolution. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in the
