This study shows that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) improves motor function in Parkinsonian mice by promoting dopaminergic axon regeneration and restoring striatal circuitry.

The paper shows that sound-safety association enhances striatal neuron responses to learned sounds through postsynaptic changes in direct pathway SPNs.

This study improves the yield and subtype identity of hPSC-derived midbrain dopamine neurons through optimized WNT and FGF18 signaling modulation, enhancing their functional and transcriptional similarity to primary neurons.
