A study has found that brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin work together in controlling hunger and food intake, a finding which can possibly help in developing improved anti-obesity drugs.

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 ...

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.

Brain implants that could help repair the pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease are being developed by University of Cambridge researchers.

The start of trials is a milestone for Bayer's ambition to develop cell and gene-based therapies for Parkinson's that could replace the dopamine-producing neurons in the midbrain area that are ...

Brain implants, made from small clusters of brain cells, could help restore neural pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease.

Though dopaminergic cells themselves are spatially restricted to the midbrain and constitute a relatively small proportion of all neurons, their projections influence many brain regions. DA is ...

It extends previous findings suggesting an interplay between these two systems in regulating behaviour by first characterizing the expression of orexin receptors in the midbrain and then disrupting ...

Serotonin is primarily synthesized by neurons in the dorsal Raphe nucleus (DRN) in the midbrain. Serotonin neurons in the DRN project to numerous brain regions, including the arcuate of the ...
