Analysis of the caudate nucleus transcriptome in individuals with schizophrenia highlights effects of antipsychotics and new risk genes
Most studies of gene expression in the brains of individuals with schizophrenia have focused on cortical regions, but subcortical nuclei such as the...

Three-Dimensional Spatial Analyses of Cholinergic Neuronal Distributions Across The Mouse Septum, Nucleus Basalis, Globus Pallidus, Nucleus Accumbens, and Caudate-Putamen
Neuronal networks are regulated by three-dimensional spatial and structural properties. Despite robust evidence of functional implications in the...

Sleep duration is associated with Caudate volume and executive function
The ineligible role of the caudate nucleus in sleep has been implicated. Previous literature showed that the caudate volume is associated with longer...

Anatomy of Basal Forebrain and Orbital Cortical Approach to Caudate Head Tumors
The mediobasal frontal region harbors prominent gray matter masses and white matter connections and is an important component of the limbic system....

Integrity of the nucleus basalis of meynert and self-reported cognitive dysfunction during wearing-off periods in parkinson’s disease
BackgroundCognition in Parkinson’s Disease can be impacted by the wearing-off phenomenon which results from changes in dopaminergic tone throughout...

Methamphetamine alters nucleus accumbens neural activation to monetary loss in healthy young adults
RationaleStimulant drugs like methamphetamine (MA) activate brain reward circuitry, which is linked to the development of problematic drug use. It is...

Manual segmentation of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and the dorsal and ventral bed nucleus of stria terminalis using multimodal 7 Tesla structural MRI: probabilistic atlases for a stress-control triad
The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) is uniquely capable of proximal control over autonomic and neuroendocrine stress responses, and...

Excessive daytime sleepiness in a model of Parkinson’s disease improved by low-frequency stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus
Patients with Parkinson’s disease often complain of excessive daytime sleepiness which negatively impacts their quality of life. The pedunculopontine...

The Mouse Caudate Putamen, Motor System, and Nucleus Accumbens
The caudate putamen (CP) or corpus striatum (= striped body because of its striped appearance) is a central component of the basal ganglia,...

A dynamic computational model of the parallel circuit on the basal ganglia-cortex associated with Parkinson’s disease dementia
The cognitive impairment will gradually appear over time in Parkinson's patients, which is closely related to the basal ganglia-cortex network. This...

Top-down projections of the prefrontal cortex to the ventral tegmental area, laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, and median raphe nucleus
Anatomical and functional evidence suggests that the PFC is fairly unique among all cortical regions, as it not only receives input from, but also...

The Dopaminergic System Modulates the Electrophysiological Activity of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Dependent on the Circadian Cycle
The suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SCN) controls mammalian circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms influence the dopaminergic system, and...

The nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum exhibit greater dopaminergic innervation in humans compared to other primates
Recent evidence suggests that increased dopaminergic signaling within the dorsal striatum played a central role in the evolution of the human brain....

Fronto-striatal alterations correlate with apathy severity in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
Structural and functional changes in cortical and subcortical regions have been reported in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD),...
-
Nucleus Reuniens: Circuitry, Function, and Dysfunction
The nucleus reuniens (RE) of the ventral midline thalamus is intimately connected with forebrain structures involved in higher-order functions and...

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation alleviates oxidative stress via mitophagy in Parkinson’s disease
Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has the potential to delay Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression. Whether oxidative stress...
