Mashup Score: 0
A whole-genome sequencing study of Korean individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) has identified several new genetic risk factors, ranging from single nucleotide variations (SNVs) to larger DNA deletions. PD is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease globally, but most studies have focused on SNVs in European populations. Using whole-genome sequencing, Ji-Hye Oh at the University of…

Mashup Score: 6Life Habits and Mental Health: Behavioural Addiction, Health Benefits of Daily Habits, and the Reward System - 2 year(s) ago
In this review, the underlying mechanisms of health benefits and the risk of habitual behaviours such as internet use and media multitasking were explored, considering their associations with the reward/motivation system. The review highlights that several …

All #Habits satisfy a craving. When that craving is met, the brain’s reward center activates and releases the pleasure chemical #Dopamine. In order to change a #habit, associate the new behavior with its own rewarding outcome from @4psa 😍 https://t.co/qsy58xsGJO #Productivity https://t.co/eFkRGN45BS

Mashup Score: 0Unique functional responses differentially map onto genetic subtypes of dopamine neurons - 2 year(s) ago
Dopamine neurons are characterized by their response to unexpected rewards, but they also fire during movement and aversive stimuli. Dopamine neuron diversity has been observed based on molecular expression profiles; however, whether different functions map onto such genetic subtypes remains unclear. Here, we establish that three genetic dopamine subtypes within the substantia nigra pars compacta…

Mashup Score: 2
Background and Objectives Cross-sectional studies suggest marked dopamine (DA) decline in aging, but longitudinal evidence is lacking. The aim of this study was to estimate within-person decline rates for DA D2-like receptors (DRD2) in aging and examine factors that may contribute to individual differences in DRD2 decline rates. Methods We investigated 5-year within-person changes in DRD2…

Mashup Score: 12Disruption of dopamine receptor 1 localization to primary cilia impairs signaling in striatal neurons - 2 year(s) ago
A rod-shaped appendage called a primary cilium projects from the soma of most central neurons in the mammalian brain. The importance of cilia within the nervous system is highlighted by the fact that human syndromes linked to primary cilia dysfunction, collectively termed ciliopathies, are associated with numerous neuropathologies, including hyperphagia-induced obesity, neuropsychiatric…
