A new organoid model of the dopaminergic system sheds lights on its intricate functionality and potential implications for Parkinson's disease. The model replicates the dopaminergic system's structure ...
The caudate nucleus (green) is a subcortical brain region located in the striatum. The striatum is one of several neural structures that make up the basal ganglia (colored regions) located below the ...
Parkinson’s disease steals ease and movement by striking a narrow band of midbrain neurons. If you study or cover neuroscience, you have seen the promise and frustration in efforts to grow these ...
Dopamine is often called the brain's "motivation molecule," but for me, it represents something deeper, a window into how fragile our neurons can be. The cells that produce dopamine, known as ...
In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...
