Abstract: SubstantiaNigra, a part of the Mesencephalon, is the primary site of dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson's disease (PD), which is currently incurable (midbrain). All PD medications address ...

1. Introduction. The brainstem—the caudoventral part of the cranial cavity, located between the diencephalon, cerebellum, and spinal cord (1, 2)—is composed of the midbrain (mesencephalon), pons ...

The midbrain functions as a relay system, transmitting information necessary for vision and hearing. It also plays an important role in motor movement, pain, and the sleep/wake cycle. The midbrain, ...

In contrast, midbrain-lesioned animals showed very different values for final displacement and total distance travelled (Figures 5C2–C5). In fact, midbrain-lesion tadpoles covered longer distances, ...

Summary: Neurons in the midbrain receive strong, specific synaptic input from retinal ganglion cells, but only from a small number of the sensory neurons. Source: Charite For the first time, ...

High-density electrode recordings reveal strong and specific connections between retinal ganglion cells and midbrain neurons. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-32775-2; ...
