A Subcortical Feeding Circuit Linking Interoception to Jaw movement

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey M. Friedman and Zachary Knight | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: The brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the neural pathways linking interoceptive inputs to outputs for feeding are poorly understood. Here we delineate […]

Chronic hyperactivation of midbrain dopamine neurons causes preferential dopamine neuron degeneration

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Alexandra Nelson and Anatol Kreitzer | Summary: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the death of substantia nigra (SNc) dopamine (DA) neurons, but the pathophysiological mechanisms that precede and drive their death remain unknown. The activity of DA neurons is likely altered in PD, but we understand little about […]
