Our follow-up study on the orexin↔dopamine neuronal interplay is here to share! We discover opposite action of #hypocretin/orexin A vs B via #OX1R vs #OX2R on VTADA cell excitability +demonstrate striking distinct impact of DA cell Ox1 vs 2R loss on mouse behavior in socioemotional&cognitive domain
Divergent modulation of dopaminergic neurons by hypocretin/orexin receptors-1 and -2 shapes dopaminergic cell activity and socio-emotional behavior
Many neuropsychiatric disorders involve dysregulation of the dopaminergic (DA) input to the forebrain. Of particular relevance are DA projections originating from the midbrain ventral tegmental area (...
