This study investigates whether inhibiting stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) restores sleep in 3xTg-AD mice and affects astrocytic function, finding no significant restoration of sleep patterns but partial rescue of astrocytic changes in the hippocampus.

A mouse model with patient-derived DAT mutations reveals dopaminergic dysfunction linked to parkinsonism and psychiatric symptoms through behavioral and neurochemical changes.

This study shows that phasic dopamine release in mice is not essential for basic motor behaviors, as motor functions remain intact despite near-complete loss of activity-dependent dopamine release.

This study shows that neurexins regulate dopamine neuron connectivity and neurotransmission by affecting dopamine reuptake and GABA co-release.

This study shows dopaminergic neurons form a unique axonal arbor with mostly non-synaptic terminals, expressing exocytosis proteins and being active, and highlights the role of specific proteins in synapse formation.

The paper investigates somatodendritic dopamine release in mice, showing that synaptotagmin 4 and 7 are required for this process, while axonal release remains unaffected.

This study investigates the role of Vglut2 in dopamine neuron plasticity and post-lesional striatal reinnervation, finding that Vglut2 expression can be reactivated in adult neurons to support axonal recovery.

This study shows that D-amphetamine reduces addiction-like behaviors and DAT sensitization in rats during intermittent cocaine self-administration.
