J Neurosci
. 2023 Oct;
43(48):8104-8125.
PMID: 37816598
In the brain, microRNAs (miRNAs) are believed to play a role in orchestrating synaptic plasticity at a higher level by acting as an additional mechanism of translational regulation, alongside the...

PMID: 35805964
The development of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons requires a fine temporal and spatial regulation of a very specific gene expression program. Here, we report that during mouse brain development, the...

33(7):789-801.
PMID: 35325516
In a million years, under the pressure of natural selection, hominins have acquired the abilities for vocal learning, music, and language. Music is a relevant human activity, highly effective in...

PMID: 33810328
Dopamine (DA) is a key neurotransmitter involved in multiple physiological functions including motor control, modulation of affective and emotional states, reward mechanisms, reinforcement of behavior, and selected higher cognitive functions....

Rev Neurosci
. 2020 Sep;
PMID: 32924383
The environment increased complexity required more neural functions to develop in the hominin brains, and the hominins adapted to the complexity by developing a bigger brain with a greater interconnection...

Volpicelli F, Perrone-Capano C, Carlo Bellenchi G, Colucci-DAmato L, di Porzio U
Int J Mol Sci
. 2020 Jun;
21(11).
PMID: 32503161
The relatively few dopaminergic neurons in the mammalian brain are mostly located in the midbrain and regulate many important neural functions, including motor integration, cognition, emotive behaviors and reward. Therefore,...

10(4):1237-1250.
PMID: 29526736
The differentiation of dopaminergic neurons requires concerted action of morphogens and transcription factors acting in a precise and well-defined time window. Very little is known about the potential role of...
