Basal ganglia output from the entopeduncular nucleus to the lateral habenula is not required for performance in a probabilistic switching task that requires flexible action/outcome decision making.
Downregulation of PTBP1 in neurons, but not astrocytes, alleviates motor symptoms in a Parkinson’s disease mouse model by inducing dopaminergic marker expression in striatal neurons and increasing striatal dopamine levels.
NALCN and TRPC6 drive the subthreshold depolarization of VTA DA neurons and down regulation of TRPC6 contributes to reduced VTA DA neuron firing and chronic stress-induced depression-like behavior of mice.
