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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Mariana Duhne, Ali Mohebi, Kyoungjun Kim, Lilian Pelattini and Joshua D. Berke; | Summary: Movement, motivation and reward-related learning depend strongly on striatal dopamine and acetylcholine. These neuromodulators each regulate the other, and disturbances to their coordinated signals contribute to human disorders ranging from Parkinson’s Disease to depression and […]
