An intrinsic neuronal oscillator underlies dopaminergic neuron bursting.
Dopaminergic neurons of the ventral midbrain fire high-frequency bursts when animals are presented with unexpected rewards, or stimuli that predict reward. To identify the afferents that can initiate bursting and establish therapeutic strategies for diseases affected by altered bursting, a mechanistic understanding of bursting is essential. Our results show that bursting is initiated by a speci...
متن کاملNeuron Loss in Transgenic Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease
Since their initial generation in the mid 1990s, transgenic mouse models of Alzheimers's disease (AD) have been proven to be valuable model systems which are indispensable for modern AD research. Whereas most of these models are characterized by extensive amyloid plaque pathology, inflammatory changes and often behavioral deficits, modeling of neuron loss was much less successful. The present p...
متن کاملParticipation of perforin in mediating dopaminergic neuron loss in MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease in mice.
Both resident innate and peripheral immune aberrations have been demonstrated to influence Parkinson's disease (PD) progression. However, it is still enigmatic how and which immune components are lethal to the dopaminergic neuron in PD. We now show that levels of perforin, a pore-forming protein expressed in cytotoxic immune cells, was significantly increased in the serum of wild-type mice 4 we...
متن کامل-Synucleinopathy and selective dopaminergic neuron loss in a rat lentiviral-based model of Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions named Lewy bodies. Two missense mutations of the -synuclein ( -syn; A30P and A53T) have been described in several families with an autosomal dominant form of PD. -Syn also constitutes one of the main components of Lewy bodies in sporadic cases of ...
متن کاملCinnamaldehyde attenuates dopaminergic neuronal loss in substantia nigra and induces midbrain catalase activity in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Background and Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease that affects 3% of the population. PD involves a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and subsequent loss of dopamine. Dopamine depletion leads to movement dysfunction and is accompanied with tremor, rigid muscle...
