Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine-mediated regulation of corticostriatal synaptic plasticity
TL;DR: A model in which the spontaneous membrane oscillations of neurons projecting from the striatum, in addition to the pattern of release of endogenous dopamine, bias the synapse towards preferential induction of LTP or LTD is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and indirect pathways of basal ganglia: a critical reappraisal
TL;DR: A model in which intrastriatal connections are critical and the two pathways are structurally and functionally intertwined is proposed, in which all MSNs might either facilitate or inhibit movement depending on the form of synaptic plasticity expressed at a certain moment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurofilament light chain as a biomarker in neurological disorders
Lorenzo Gaetani,Kaj Blennow,Paolo Calabresi,Massimiliano Di Filippo,Lucilla Parnetti,Henrik Zetterberg +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence that both CSF and blood NfL may serve as diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring biomarkers in neurological diseases is progressively increasing, and N fL is one of the most promising biomarkers to be used in clinical and research setting in the next future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levodopa-induced dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease: filling the bench-to-bedside gap
TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical findings suggest pulsatile stimulation of striatal postsynaptic receptors as a key mechanism underlying levodopa-induced dyskinesias, but the pathogenesis of these mechanisms is still unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
A convergent model for cognitive dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease: the critical dopamine–acetylcholine synaptic balance
TL;DR: The dopamine-acetylcholine balance theory is reconsidered and the possible cooperative role of dopamine and acetyl choline in the induction and maintenance of the long-lasting changes of striatal and cortical synaptic plasticity is looked at.
