Dopamine neuron systems in the brain: an update.

TLDR
The purpose of the present review is to summarize the current knowledge of the diversity and neurochemical features of the nine dopamine-containing neuronal cell groups in the mammalian brain, their distinctive cellular properties, and their ability to regulate their dopaminergic transmitter machinery in response to altered functional demands and aging.

Parkinson’s disease: clinical features and diagnosis

TL;DR: A thorough understanding of the broad spectrum of clinical manifestations of PD is essential to the proper diagnosis of the disease and genetic mutations or variants, neuroimaging abnormalities and other tests are potential biomarkers that may improve diagnosis and allow the identification of persons at risk.

Dopamine in Motivational Control: Rewarding, Aversive, and Alerting

TL;DR: It is proposed that dopamine neurons come in multiple types that are connected with distinct brain networks and have distinct roles in motivational control, and it is hypothesized that these dopaminergic pathways for value, salience, and alerting cooperate to support adaptive behavior.

Phasic Firing in Dopaminergic Neurons Is Sufficient for Behavioral Conditioning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used optogenetic tools to selectively stimulate VTA dopaminergic neuron action potential firing in freely behaving mammals and found that phasic activation of these neurons was sufficient to drive behavioral conditioning and elicited dopamine transients with magnitudes not achieved by longer, lower-frequency spiking.

Input-specific control of reward and aversion in the ventral tegmental area

TL;DR: It is established that distinct VTA circuits generate reward and aversion, and thereby provides a new framework for understanding the circuit basis of adaptive and pathological motivated behaviours.

Genome-wide atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain

Ed S. Lein, +109 more
- 11 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive digital atlas containing the expression patterns of ∼20,000 genes in the adult mouse brain is described, providing an open, primary data resource for a wide variety of further studies concerning brain organization and function.

The rat nervous system

TL;DR: The present work focuses on the development of brain Stem Systems Involved in the Blink Reflex, Feeding Mechanisms, and Micturition of the Spinal Cord, which are involved in the selection of somatic and emotional components of the Motor System in Mammals.

Fluorescence of Catechol Amines and Related Compounds Condensed With Formaldehyde

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction between formaldehyde and phenylalanine and phenylethylamine derivatives has been studied under mild conditions and it has been shown that the amines primarily condense with formaldehyde to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines which are involved in a secondary reaction to become highly fluorescent and at the same time insoluble.
