This study shows that disrupting NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic input to ALDH1A1+ dopaminergic neurons causes sex-specific feeding abnormalities linked to Parkinson's disease.

This study investigates the functional roles of two nigrostriatal dopaminergic neuron subtypes in motor and associative learning using genetic and chemogenetic approaches in mice.

This study shows that deficiency in DAGLB, an endocannabinoid synthase, contributes to Parkinson's disease by impairing dopaminergic neuron function and motor learning, with potential therapeutic implications for 2-AG augmentation.
