Interested in dopamine regulation? Don’t forget the astrocytes! We’re excited to share our new preprint on astrocyte-dopamine interactions in the dorsal striatum and behavioral state transitions. @biorxiv_neursci, @mcgovernmit, @AnnMGraybiel biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Can there be a “little brain” in the heart? This is one of the “out of the box” project that we performed as KizilLab and AmpatzisLab. Huge thanks to Andrea, Kostas and Caghan 🤘🏻 #zebrafish #heart #neuron Check this little brain of the heart: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The ‘go’ and ‘no-go’ pathways in the basal ganglia are not the only pathways that control movement, as a new study reveals two additional circuits that modulate dopamine and movement. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/basal-gangli...
Check also our recent paper in Current Biology on how striosomes regulate dopamine in the dorsal striatum via dual pathways that parallel canonical basal ganglia circuits. www.cell.com/current-biol... mcgovern.mit.edu/2024/10/23/b...

Striatal Astrocytes Influence Dopamine Dynamics and Behavioral State Transitions
We demonstrate here that astrocytes in the striatum interact with striatal dopamine in bidirectional signaling with dopamine release actively driving surges in astrocytic Ca++, which in turn modulate ...

Lazaridis et al. delineate a previously unrecognized pair of striosomal direct D1 and indirect D2 circuits that target substantia nigra dopamine-containing neurons, controllers of mood, action, and reinforcement learning. These striosomal circuits have effects opposing those of the canonical D1-direct/D2-indirect pathways, likely modulating them.
