Altered Thalamocortical Signaling in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Olivia K. Swanson, Priscilla Yevoo, Dave Richard, Arianna Maffei

This study shows that midbrain dopamine loss in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease reduces thalamocortical input to the motor cortex while increasing its output.

Reduced dopamine signaling impacts pyramidal neuron excitability in mouse motor cortex

Olivia K. Swanson, Rosa Semaan, Arianna Maffei

This study examines how dopamine signaling affects excitability of pyramidal neurons in mouse motor cortex through acute and chronic manipulations, revealing distinct mechanisms depending on the mode of dopamine depletion.
