A comparative analysis of catecholaminergic systems in the brain and spinal cord of
vertebrates forces to reconsider several aspects of the organization of catecholamine …

Besides the dopaminergic (DA-ergic) neurons possessing the whole set of enzymes of DA
synthesis from l-tyrosine and the DA membrane transporter (DAT), the neurons partly …

The thalamus relays information to the cerebral cortex from subcortical centers or other
cortices; in addition, it projects to the striatum and amygdala. The thalamic relay function is …

Crosstalk between the gut microbiome and the host plays an important role in animal
development and health. Small compounds are key mediators in this host–gut microbiome …

Background The A11 diencephalospinal pathway is crucial for sensorimotor integration and
pain control at the spinal cord level. When disrupted, it is thought to be involved in numerous …

Although the positive clinical benefits of levodopa have fostered the concept of an
abnormality in the dopaminergic system in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), research into the …

Volatile pesticides impair olfactory function in workers/farmers and insects, but data on
molecular responses and mechanisms are poorly understood. This study aims to reveal the …

Since the late 80s it has been repeatedly shown that besides dopaminergic neurons, the
brain contains so-called monoenzymatic neurons possessing one of the enzymes of …

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is the rate-limiting precursor in serotonin (5-
hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) biosynthesis, is used as an oral supplement to enhance serotonin …

In addition to catecholaminergic neurons possessing all the enzymes of catecholamine
synthesis and the specific membrane transporters, neurons partly expressing the …
