Corticostriatal dysfunction underlies diminished striatal ascorbate release in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington's disease.

14 Jul 2009 A behavior-related deficit in the release of ascorbate (AA), an antioxidant vitamin, occurs in the striatum of R6/2 mice expressing the human mutation for Huntington's disease (HD), a dominantly inherited condition characterized by striatal ... Read more...

Tonic autoinhibition contributes to the heterogeneity of evoked dopamine release in the rat striatum.

12 Jul 2009 Electrically evoked dopamine release as measured by voltammetry in the rat striatum is heterogeneous in both amplitude and temporal profile. Previous studies have attributed this heterogeneity to variations in the density of dopamine (DA) terminals ... Read more...

Impaired dopamine release and synaptic plasticity in the striatum of parkin-/- mice.

3 May 2009 Parkin is the most common causative gene of juvenile and early-onset familial Parkinson's diseases and is thought to function as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, it remains unclear how loss of Parkin protein causes ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Corpus Striatum'

Definition: Striped gray and white matter consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the thalamus in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The white matter is the internal capsule.

Descriptor UI: D003342

Alternative terms: Corpus Striatum; Striatum, Corpus; Lenticular Nucleus; Nucleus, Lenticular; Nucleus Lentiformis; Lentiformis, Nucleus; Lentiform Nucleus; Nucleus, Lentiform;
