Understanding the mechanisms involved in the development of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons might contribute to the success of cell-replacement strategies for disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Smidt and Burbach review the factors governing spe
and then makes contact and binds with structures called receptors on the other neuron, which then transmit the signal to the second neuron. After the dopamine accomplishes its mission, it's rapidly removed and degrades. The effects of dopamine on your brain depend a lot on which neurons are...

it is already too late. The loss of nigral DA neurons has already been going on for at least a decade," he says. "There was previously no way to make human dopamine neurons from a PD patient so we could study these neurons to find out what goes wrong." ...
Rodent studies have reported that the inhibition of the LH-LHb glutamatergic projections increased consumption of palatable liquid in mice, while activation of the glutamatergic neurons in the VP excited the habenula-tegmental circuitry to indirectly decrease VTA dopaminergic neuron firing, resulting in ...
In a computational account of valuation [33], sensory information about an object is considered inherently uncertain, forcing the subject to make inferences (e.g., Bayesian) from available information in the environment. In perception, a small white object might be perceived as an egg in an egg...

GDNF has long been thought to be a potent neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which are degenerated in Parkinson’s disease. In this paper, we report an unexpected, acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels, leading to a potentiation of neuronal ...
Since the brain was found to be somehow flexible, plastic, researchers worldwide have been trying to comprehend its fundamentals to better understand the brain itself, make predictions, disentangle the neurobiology of brain diseases, and finally propose up-to-date treatments. Neuroplasticity is simple...
