This study identifies a midbrain pathway from VTA to pontine reticular nucleus that biases locomotor direction through local and distal inhibition.

This study investigates sex-dimorphic effects of neuromelanin buildup in rodent nigral dopamine neurons, revealing sex-biased impacts on neuronal activity, mitochondrial function, and non-motor Parkinson's symptoms.

The paper investigates changes in brown adipose tissue and its extracellular vesicles in an ALS mouse model, showing their impact on myoblast homeostasis and muscle atrophy.

This study compares the effects of safinamide and tranylcypromine on dopamine signaling in SNpc dopaminergic neurons, finding that safinamide only mildly prolongs DA-mediated firing inhibition.

The paper shows that increased translational efficiency in early stages of Tg2576 mice contributes to AD-like symptoms, which can be mitigated by restoring translational control.
