Neuroinflammation is an early pathological process in a mouse model of prodromal Parkinsons disease

Gabriela Mercado, Lucas A. Stetzik, Schulz Emily, Lindsay K. Meyerdirk, Allison Lindquist, Lorna Cohen, Martha L. Escobar Galvis, Jennifer A. Steiner, Darren J. Moore, Daniel W. Wesson, Patrik Brundin

This study shows that neuroinflammation occurs early in a mouse model of prodromal Parkinson's disease before neuronal loss, linking Syn pathology to olfactory dysfunction.

Sniffing can be initiated by the actions of dopamine on ventral striatum neurons

Natalie L. Johnson, Anamaria Cotelo-Larrea, Lucas A. Stetzik, Umit Murat Akkaya, Zihao Zhang, Marie A. Gadziola, Adrienn G. Varga, Minghong Ma, Daniel W. Wesson

This study shows dopamine in the ventral striatum initiates sniffing by modulating respiratory rate and neuronal activity.

A neural system that represents the association of odors with rewarded outcomes and promotes behavioral engagement

Marie A. Gadziola, Lucas A. Stetzik, Katherine N. Wright, Adrianna J. Milton, Keiko Arakawa, María del Mar Cortijo, Daniel W. Wesson

The paper investigates how odor-reward associations are represented in brain regions and how these representations influence behavior during learning.

Deficits in olfactory sensitivity in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease revealed by plethysmography of odor-evoked sniffing

Michaela Johnson, Liza Bergkvist, Gabriela Mercado, Lucas A. Stetzik, Lindsay K. Meyerdirk, Emily Wolfrum, Zachary Madaj, Patrik Brundin, Daniel W. Wesson

This study shows that injecting α-synuclein fibrils into the olfactory bulb of mice reduces odor detection sensitivity, detected by plethysmography but not buried pellet tests.
