Dopamine neurons in the midbrain are involved in storing short-term memories—a function previously thought to be conducted solely in the prefrontal cortex—two RIKEN neuroscientists have shown1.

Using α-syn fibril-induced PD model, researchers aimed to restore the degenerated dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain by the wireless DBS nanosystem. After stereotactic ...

Anatomically, in vertebrate embryos, cranial motor neurons develop in columns and eventually cluster to form nuclei in discrete regions of the midbrain and hindbrain (which together make up the ...

Using an α-syn fibril-induced PD model, the researchers attempted to restore the degenerated dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain through use of the wireless DBS nanosystem.

Specific types of nerve cells that are routinely generated in the lab include midbrain dopamine neurons, motoneurons, GABA+ interneurons and sensory neurons. Schematic illustration of the three main ...
