The paper investigates early axonal dysfunction in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, finding reduced calcium signals and impaired action potential propagation before axonal degeneration.

The paper identifies dendrite-specific synaptic inputs onto dopaminergic SNc neurons from STN, PPN, and SNr, revealing distinct functional roles of these inputs.

This study compares the retrograde transduction efficiency of four viral vectors in dopaminergic neurons of rhesus monkeys after striatal injection.

This study shows that nicotinic receptors modulate dopamine signaling by both enhancing and suppressing axonal activity through bidirectional mechanisms.

The paper investigates how GABAARs on dopaminergic axons modulate nicotinic input integration, showing that GABAAR antagonism enhances nAChR-evoked activity.

The paper identifies robust corticonigral projections to substantia nigra pars lateralis dopaminergic neurons involved in auditory threat memory, contrasting with sparse cortical input to other nigral populations.

The paper demonstrates fast synaptic-like transmission from striatal cholinergic interneurons to dopaminergic axons, showing axonal integration of synaptic input into spiking.

The paper investigates how GABA-A receptors on dopaminergic neuron axons modulate striatal dopamine release and shows that diazepam enhances this inhibition.

The paper identifies inhibitory inputs to SNc dopaminergic neurons and shows that striosomal inputs can produce pause-rebound firing independently of excitatory input.
