Subtype-Specific Roles of Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons in Motor and Associative Learning

2025-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons (DANs) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) comprise distinct subtypes defined by unique gene expression profiles and anatomical characteristics. However, their specific contributions to motor and non-motor functions remain elusive. Using Calbindin 1 ( Calb1 ) and Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1a1 ( Aldh1a1 ) as molecular markers, we investigated the functions of these nigro...
