These dark regions are caused by a pigment called neuromelanin, which is left behind when dopamine levels rise too high. A ...

"We saw an increase of blacker spots in a particular region of the midbrain associated with psychosis –the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas. This increase was seen in those with ...

The dorsal and ventral sides of USNM 5095, showing the faded green coloration that helped lead Kevin de Queiroz to his identification. Kevin de Queiroz de Queiroz knew that identifying Wright’s ...

Our study demonstrates that SELENOT in mouse dopaminergic neurons maintains proper dopamine signaling in the midbrain against the development of ADHD-like behaviors. The ER membrane protein SELENOT ...

The ventral hippocampus (vH) plays a crucial role in anxiety-related behaviour and vH neurons increase their firing when animals explore anxiogenic environments. However, if and how such neuronal ...

Though dopaminergic cells themselves are spatially restricted to the midbrain and constitute a relatively small proportion of all neurons ... from non-local brain sites such as other prefrontal areas ...

Feedback regulation of the nociceptive signal occurs via a midbrain reaching spino-bulbo-spinal loop, which releases serotonin onto excitatory receptors in the dorsal horn. The integrity of this ...

Dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are powerful regulators of depression-related behavior. Dopamine neuron activity is altered in chronic stress-based models of depression, but the ...

Dorsal and ventral pathways connecting perisylvian language areas have been shown to be functionally and anatomically segregated. Whereas the dorsal pathway integrates the sensory-motor information ...
