Unique Properties of Mesoprefrontal Neurons within a Dual Mesocorticolimbic Dopamine System

TL;DR: A type of dopaminergic neuron within the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system with unconventional fast-firing properties and small DAT/TH mRNA expression ratios that selectively projects to prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens core and medial shell as well as to basolateral amygdala is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATP-sensitive K+ channels in the hypothalamus are essential for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that KATP channels are important in glucose sensing in VMH GR neurons, and are essential for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ih Channels Contribute to the Different Functional Properties of Identified Dopaminergic Subpopulations in the Midbrain

TL;DR: Diversity within the DA system is not restricted to distinct axonal projections and differences in synaptic connectivity, but also involves differences in postsynaptic conductances between neurochemically and topographically distinct DA neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

K-ATP channels promote the differential degeneration of dopaminergic midbrain neurons

TL;DR: It is shown that in response to parkinsonism-inducing toxins, electrophysiological activity of SN neurons, but not VTA DA neurons, is lost owing to activation of K-ATP channels.
