Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSSs) are uniquely susceptible to dementia‐related pathology, leading to frequent molecular and behavioral impairments associated with altered function of these nuclei. Some of these systems display clear sex‐specific cytoarchitecture and signaling leading to distinct physiology and behavioral outputs in ...

Tyrosine Hydroxylase Deficiency Impairs TH Axonal Transport, Brain Function, and Neuronal Plasticity
ABSTRACT Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency (THD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the Th gene, leading to a deficiency in the rate‐limiting enzyme for the synthesis of dopamine (DA) and other catecholamine neurotransmitters.

The golgin coiled-coil proteins capture different types of transport carriers via distinct N-terminal motifs [PDF]
Background The internal organization of cells depends on mechanisms to ensure that transport carriers, such as vesicles, fuse only with the correct destination organelle.

Acetylcholine release and the cholinergic genomic locus [PDF]
Choline acetyltransferase and vesicular acetylcholine-transporter genes are adjacent and coregulated. They define a cholinergic locus that can be turned on under the control of several factors, including the neurotrophins and the cytokines. Hirschprung's

Post translational changes to α-synuclein control iron and dopamine trafficking : a concept for neuron vulnerability in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Parkinson's disease is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder, the aetiology of which remains elusive. The primary clinical feature of progressively impaired motor control is caused by a loss of midbrain substantia nigra dopamine neurons that have a

Vesicular Amine Transporter VMAT2 in the Rat Ileum: from Principal Mechanism to Clinical Applications [PDF]
Besides the role of a classical neurotransmitter, histamine plays a key role in the immune/inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract. Specific transport proteins pack the amine neurotransmitters into vesicles so that their release can be ...

Pharmacology of novel psychoactive substances [PDF]
This PhD work consists of an in vitro and in vivo part. In the in vivo part, we investigated the role of dopamine in the acute clinical effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, “ecstasy”) in healthy human subjects.
