Parkinson's Paradox: Alpha-synuclein's Selective Strike on SNc Dopamine Neurons over VTA

Leah T. Phan, D Miller, Adithya Gopinath…·Habibeh Khoshbouei

This study shows that alpha-synuclein elevates firing rates and impairs homeostatic regulation in SNc dopamine neurons, but not VTA neurons, before neurodegeneration occurs.

Midbrain dopamine neuronal activity modulates splenic immunity through a brain-to-body circuit

Adithya Gopinath, Alfonso junior Apicella, Alice Bertero…·Habibeh Khoshbouei

This study shows midbrain dopamine neurons modulate splenic immunity via a brain-to-body circuit involving the DVC and celiac ganglion, reducing spleen weight and naive CD4+ T-cell populations.
