Altered striatal long-term potentiation in the eIF4E- TG ASD mouse model

This study investigates how overexpression of the eIF4E gene in mice affects striatal long-term potentiation (LTP), finding increased LTP that is NMDA receptor-dependent but not blocked by D1/D2 receptor antagonists.

Dysregulated acetylcholine-mediated dopamine neurotransmission in the eIF4E Tg mouse model of autism spectrum disorders.

This study investigates dopamine neurotransmission in an eIF4E Tg mouse model of ASD, finding impaired striatal dopamine release and behavioral inflexibility due to defective nicotinic receptor signaling.

5-HT1B receptors mediate dopaminergic inhibition of vesicular fusion and GABA release from striatonigral synapses.

The paper investigates how dopamine modulates GABA release from striatonigral synapses via 5-HT1B receptors, revealing a serotonergic mechanism relevant to Parkinson's disease treatments.

Subcellular and regional localization of mRNA translation in midbrain dopamine neurons

The paper investigates mRNA localization and translation in midbrain dopaminergic neurons, finding no axonal localization but dendritic ribosomes and mRNAs related to dopamine synthesis and release.

Coordinated postnatal maturation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release dynamics in mice.

This study examines the postnatal maturation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and their interaction with dopamine release in mice, showing age-related changes in activity and neurotransmission.

mTOR suppresses macroautophagy during postnatal development of the striatum.

The paper shows that mTOR suppresses autophagy in the striatum during postnatal development, with autophagic flux reaching adult levels by P28.
