elegans model, SCD knockout prevented αS-induced dopaminergic degeneration.

Diana Osmanova and her colleagues [18] provide us with insights into involvement of dopaminergic pathways in antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia by uncovering statistically significant association between a certain polymorphic variant of gene MAOB, which * Correspondence: [email protected]

Neuroinflammation may disrupt the development of mesolimbic dopaminergic systems that are critical for optimal functioning of social reward processing systems.

To evaluate the mechanism of environmental influence on cognitive abilities, we examined if epigenetic regulation of dopaminergic genes plays a role in cognition.

We investigated the occurrence of late nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity induced by exposures to the pesticides paraquat (PQ) and maneb (MB) during the early postnatal period in mice, as well as whether the exposure to pesticides during development could enhance mice vulnerability to subsequent challenges.
