A MicroRNA feedback circuit in midbrain dopamine neurons.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, 18- to 25-nucleotide, non-protein coding transcripts that posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression during development. miRNAs also occur in postmitotic cells, such as neurons in the mammalian central nervous system, but their function is less well characterized. We investigated the role of miRNAs in mammalian midbrain dopaminergic neurons (...
متن کاملD1-D2 interaction in feedback control of midbrain dopamine neurons.
Dopamine (DA) D1-like receptors are present in pathways implicated in feedback control of midbrain DA neurons. However, stimulation of these receptors either produces no effect on DA cells, or the effect is inconsistent. It is possible that the expression of a D1 feedback effect requires co-activation of D2-like receptors. To test this hypothesis, we recorded extracellularly the spontaneous act...
متن کاملMidbrain dopamine neurons control judgment of time.
Our sense of time is far from constant. For instance, time flies when we are having fun, and it slows to a trickle when we are bored. Midbrain dopamine neurons have been implicated in variable time estimation. However, a direct link between signals carried by dopamine neurons and temporal judgments is lacking. We measured and manipulated the activity of dopamine neurons as mice judged the durat...
متن کاملThe Reward Signal of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons.
Dopamine projections from the midbrain to striatum and frontal cortex play a major role in behavioral reactions controlled by rewards. Recent experiments have shown that dopamine neurons code the discrepancy between the prediction and occurrence of rewards and in this way signal a crucial learning term for approach behavior.
متن کاملNoradrenergic inhibition of midbrain dopamine neurons.
Receptors that couple to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which include metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and muscarinic receptors, are known to either activate or inhibit the activity of dopamine cells depending on the pattern of receptor activation. Transient activation of alpha1 adrenoceptors with norepinephrine (NE) resulted in an outward current in midbrain dopamine neurons recorded in...
