Sex-dimorphic effects of neuromelanin buildup in rodent nigral dopamine neurons: implications for sex-biased vulnerability in Parkinson's disease

Sebastian Luca D’Addario, Mariangela Massaro Cenere, Francesca Cossa…·Nicola Biagio Mercuri

This study investigates sex-dimorphic effects of neuromelanin buildup in rodent nigral dopamine neurons, revealing sex-biased impacts on neuronal activity, mitochondrial function, and non-motor Parkinson's symptoms.

Translating human drug use patterns into rat models: exploring spontaneous interindividual differences via refined drug self-administration procedures

Ginevra D’Ottavio, Sara Pezza, Jacopo Modoni…·Daniele Caprioli

This study introduces a no-timeout self-administration procedure to better mimic human heroin use patterns in rats, showing it alters heroin intake and social behavior but not cocaine use.
