Developmental deficits of MGE-derived interneurons in the Cntnap2 knockout mouse model of autism spectrum disorder

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Interneurons are fundamental cells for maintaining the excitation-inhibition balance in the brain in health and disease. While interneurons have been shown to play a key role in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adult mice, little ...

Dysfunctional play and dopamine physiology in the Fischer 344 rat

open access: yes, 2011
Juvenile Fischer 344 rats are known to be less playful than other inbred strains, although the neurobiological substrate(s) responsible for this phenotype is uncertain.

Peripheral Inflammation Enhances Microglia Response and Nigral Dopaminergic Cell Death in an in vivo MPTP Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The impact of systemic inflammation in nigral dopaminergic cell loss remains unclear. Here, we have investigated the role of peripheral inflammation induced by systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in the MPTP-based model of Parkinson’s ...

Hypoxia Disrupted Serotonin Levels in the Prefrontal Cortex and Striatum, Leading to Depression-like Behavior

open access: yesBiology
Hypoxia can adversely affect multiple organ systems. This study investigated the impact of intermittent hypoxia on serotonin levels and depression-like behaviors across distinct neuroanatomical regions.

Changes in striatal dopamine transporters in bipolar disorder and valproate treatment

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry, 2021
BackgroundPrevious studies suggested that a disturbance of the dopamine system underlies the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD). In addition, the therapeutic action of medications for treating BD, such as valproate (VPA), might modulate dopamine ...

Overlapping Prediction Errors in Dorsal Striatum During Instrumental Learning With Juice and Money Reward in the Human Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Prediction error signals have been reported in human imaging studies in target areas of dopamine neurons such as ventral and dorsal striatum during learning with many different types of reinforcers. However, a key question that has yet to be addressed is

Characterization of the tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive components of the basal subpallium in sharks—toward an identification of a basal subpallial complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy
Comparative studies on the forebrain across different model organisms are necessary to investigate the origin and degree of evolutionary conservation of this brain region and its derivatives. The catshark Scyliorhinus canicula has become a reliable model

In vivo PET quantification of the dopamine transporter in rat brain with [¹⁸F]LBT-999. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
INTRODUCTION: We examined whether [(18)F]LBT-999 ((E)-N-(4-fluorobut-2-enyl)2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4'-tolyl)nortropane) is an efficient positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for the quantification of the dopamine transporter (DAT) in the healthy rat ...

Depression-associated reductions in putaminal volume are accompanied by a shift from matrix-like to striosome-like structural connectivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry
The striatum is among the most studied brain regions in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) due to its involvement in reward, motivation, and executive functions.

Dissociating the Role of the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Striatum in the Computation of Goal Values and Prediction Errors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To make sound economic decisions, the brain needs to compute several different value-related signals. These include goal values that measure the predicted reward that results from the outcome generated by each of the actions under consideration, decision
