Local synapses formed by nondopamine cells within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are thought to provide an important regulatory influence on the activity patterns of dopamine (DA) neurons. However, ultrastructural confirmation of intra-areal ... Read more...
21 Sep 2009 The aim of the present work was to study the involvement of the dopaminergic system of the telencephalic and diencephalic areas of the vertebrate brain in the organization of the sleep-waking cycle in cold-blooded and warm-blooded vertebrates. ... Read more...
14 Sep 2009 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. Levodopa (l-dopa) and dopamine agonists have been most commonly used for ... Read more...
