Transgenic A53T mice have astrocytic α-synuclein aggregates in dopamine and striatal regions

Cormac Peat, Asheeta A. Prasad, David Isaac Finkelstein, Carolyn M. Sue, Jennifer A. Johnston, Clare L. Parish, Lachlan H. Thompson, Deniz Kirik, Glenda Margaret Halliday

This study shows that astrocytes in the substantia nigra pars compacta of A53T transgenic mice have more -synuclein aggregates and reactive morphology compared to wild-type mice.

The mesolimbic dopamine signatures of relapse to alcohol-seeking

Yu Liu, Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel, Joanna Oi-Yue Yau, Alexandra Willing, Asheeta A. Prasad, John Power, Simon Killcross, Colin W. G. Clifford, Gavan P. McNally

The paper identifies mesolimbic dopamine signatures associated with different forms of alcohol-seeking relapse using photometry and dissimilarity matrices.

Complementary roles for ventral pallidum cell types and their projections in relapse

Asheeta A. Prasad, Caroline Xie, Chanchanok Chaichim, Jennifer H.G. Nguyen, Hannah E. McClusky, Simon Killcross, John Power, Gavan P. McNally

The paper investigates how different ventral pallidum cell types and their projections contribute to relapse to alcohol-seeking in rats, identifying distinct roles for Gad1 and PV neurons.
