The VTA contains the A10 group of DA containing neurons. These neurons have been
grouped into nuclei to be found on the floor of the midbrain tegmentum—Npn, Nif, Npbp and …

The major functions of the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG), including pain and
analgesia, fear and anxiety, vocalization, lordosis and cardiovascular control are considered …

Neurofibrillary degeneration in the nucleus basalis and a loss of its cortical cholinergic
projections are prominent components of the neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) …

Monoclonal antibodies, specific for either monoamine oxidases A or B, were used to
determine the localization of monoamine oxidase in the human brain. Two distinct …

The noradrenergic, dopaminergic, and serotonergic cell groups of the brain stem and caudal
diencephalon, and their projections, were examined in neonatal and adult squirrel monkeys …

The organization of the dopaminergic mesostriatal fibers and their patterns of innervation of
the basal ganglia in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciur-eus) were studied …

Neuromelanin is closely linked to Parkinson's disease, but is it the cause of the illness? The
main pathology of Parkinson's disease is a loss of pigmented brain-stem neurones, and …

The central noradrenergic pathways with the mammalian brain are principally based on that
group of nerve cells within the reticular substance of the upper pons known as the locus …

This paper provides an overview of the anatomical and functional organization of the most
prominent chemospecific neuronal systems that compose the basal ganglia in primates …

Immunocytochemistry based on antibodies to tyrosine hydroxylase is used to identify
catecholaminergic neurons in the human brain stem. An atlas is provided and the …
