Hemispheric differences in the mesostriatal dopaminergic system
The mesostriatal dopaminergic system, which comprises the mesolimbic and the nigrostriatal pathways, plays a major role in neural processing underlying motor and limbic functions. Multiple reports suggest that these processes are influenced by hemispheric differences in striatal dopamine (DA) levels, DA turnover and its receptor activity. Here, we review studies which measured the concentration...
متن کاملVulnerability of Mesostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons in Parkinson's Disease
The term vulnerability was first associated with the midbrain dopaminergic neurons 85 years ago, before they were identified as monoaminergic neurons, when Foix and Nicolesco (1925) reported the loss of neuromelanin containing neurons in the midbrain of patients with post-encephalitic Parkinson's disease (PD). A few years later, Hassler (1938) showed that degeneration is more intense in the ven...
متن کاملThe neostriatal mosaic: II. Patch- and matrix-directed mesostriatal dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic systems.
Mesostriatal projections, which arise from dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area, substantia nigra, and retrorubral area, are compartmentally organized in the striatum. Anterograde axonal tract tracing with Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), combined with immunohistochemical localization of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and autoradiographic localization of...
متن کاملEpilepsy and dopaminergic system
Epilepsy is accompanied with a strong change in neuronal activity not only in excitatory (glutamatergic) and inhibitory (GABAergic) neurotransmission, but also in neuromodulatory agents. Dopaminergic system, as an important neuromodulatory system of the brain, has significant effect on neuronal excitability. In addition, this system undergoes many changes in epileptic brain. Understanding the e...
متن کاملGestalt Hemispheric Differences 1 Running Header: Gestalt Hemispheric Differences Are There Hemispheric Differences in Visual Processes That Utilize Gestalt Principles?
Hemispheric differences in the visual system have been well-established, although their exact nature remains under study (Hellige 1990). Thus far, research has focused on the perception of whole objects or scenes. Van Kleeck and Kosslyn (1989) investigated the possibility of lateralization for Gestalt principles using an embedded figures task. They^ found an effect of lateralization, that parts...
