This study shows that L-DOPA improves certain motor features but not others in a bimanual string-pulling task in Parkinsonian rats.

This study shows that overexpressing alpha-synuclein in zebra finch Area X reduces firing rates of specific neurons, mimicking Parkinsonian-like vocal impairments.

This study shows that aging in rats reduces polysynaptic responses in the medial prefrontal cortex but preserves direct synaptic transmission from the hippocampus.

This study shows that loss of estradiol and progesterone in female rats at 9 months of age reduces neurogenesis and behavioral function, earlier than age-related declines at 14 months.

This paper investigates how hippocampal theta oscillations respond to different motor behaviors, finding distinct relationships between theta frequency, movement speed, and paw actions during string pulling versus running.

This study examines how different statins affect the anti-dyskinetic effects of sub-anesthetic ketamine in a rat model of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia.

The paper investigates how heterogeneous neuronal activity in the ventral tegmental area coordinates dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens of anesthetized rats.
