5 days ago · The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
Apr 3, 2024 · Treatment of refractory bipolar disorder (BD) is extremely challenging. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) holds promise as an effective treatment intervention. However, we still understand very little about the mechanisms of DBS and its application on BD. The present study aimed to investigate the behavioural and neurochemical effects of ventral tegmental area (VTA) DBS in an animal model of mania ...

Apr 15, 2024 · Endogenous neurotransmitter that acts as an agonist at dopamine D 1-5 receptors. Synthesized in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area, and is a precursor in noradrenalin and adrenalin biosynthesis. Pharmacokinetics. Dopamine hydrochloride(62-31-7) is a precursor for the synthesis of epinephrine in the body.
2 days ago · The anterior cingulate gyrus can be considered part of the medial frontal lobe. The term "prefrontal cortex" is most appropriately used to designate the main cortical target projections for the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus, and this area is also sometimes referred to as frontal granular cortex. It is denoted by Brodmann areas 9-15, 46 ...
Apr 24, 2024 · Repeated exposure to psychostimulants such as methamphetamine (METH) induces neuronal adaptations in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system, including the ventral tegmental area (VTA). These changes lead to persistently enhanced neuronal activity causing increased dopamine release and addictive phenotypes.
Apr 4, 2024 · For example, calbindin has been found to be more highly expressed in dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area than in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra in rats 90 and mice 91 ...
