This system relies on the neurotransmitter dopamine, and the experiment that Bingel and her team document in the paper tested ...

However, she says, “[Dopaminergic] pathways are very well described and based on previous evidence it is at least fair to speculate about their involvement.” The situation with analgesia is ...

There are three dopaminergic pathways, namely the striatonigral pathway (substantia nigra to caudate and putamen), the mesolimbic pathway (ventral tegmental area of midbrain to limbic areas of ...

Dopamine is a nuanced molecule that not only plays important roles in bad habits but also in behaviors that are necessary for ...

including the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the accumulation of the Parkinson’s-associated protein alpha-synuclein in neurons. Mechanistically, low-dose carbon monoxide activated signaling pathways ...

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in brain regions responsible for motor control (nigrostriatal pathway), while inflammation and immune dysfunction ...

A study found that those with upper gastrointestinal damage are 76% more likely to develop Parkinson's disease, signaling a ...
