Bimpisidis Z, Serra G, Konig N, Wallen-Mackenzie A
Front Mol Neurosci . 2023 Feb; 16:1069834. PMID: 36825278
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons are implicated in reward processing, motivation, reward prediction error, and in substance use disorder. Recent studies have identified distinct neuronal subpopulations within the...

Barcik W, Chiacchierini G, Bimpisidis Z, Papaleo F
Curr Opin Immunol . 2021 May; 71:46-54. PMID: 34058687
Social interactions profoundly influence animals' life. The quality of social interactions and many everyday life decisions are determined by a proper perception, processing and reaction to others' emotions. Notably, alterations...

Konig N, Bimpisidis Z, Dumas S, Wallen-Mackenzie A
Front Behav Neurosci . 2020 Nov; 14:578443. PMID: 33240055
The vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) has a range of functions in the central nervous system, from sequestering toxins to providing conditions for the quantal release of monoaminergic neurotransmitters. Monoamine...

Bimpisidis Z, Konig N, Wallen-Mackenzie A
J Vis Exp . 2020 Mar; (156). PMID: 32116305
Understanding how neuronal activation leads to specific behavioral output is fundamental for modern neuroscience. Combining optogenetics in rodents with behavioral testing in validated paradigms allows the measurement of behavioral consequences...

Bimpisidis Z, Wallen-Mackenzie A
J Clin Med . 2019 Nov; 8(11). PMID: 31698743
Dopamine-glutamate co-release is a unique property of midbrain neurons primarily located in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Dopamine neurons of the VTA are important for behavioral regulation in response to...

Bimpisidis Z, Konig N, Stagkourakis S, Zell V, Vlcek B, Dumas S, et al.
eNeuro . 2019 May; 6(3). PMID: 31097625
Reward-related behavior is complex and its dysfunction correlated with neuropsychiatric illness. Dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) have long been associated with different aspects of reward function,...

Papathanou M, Creed M, Dorst M, Bimpisidis Z, Dumas S, Pettersson H, et al.
Front Neural Circuits . 2018 Sep; 12:64. PMID: 30210305
Expression of the gene encoding the Vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2) in midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons enables these neurons to co-release glutamate in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a feature of...

Lerner R, Francardo V, Fujita K, Bimpisidis Z, Jourdain V, Tang C, et al.
Sci Rep . 2017 Nov; 7(1):16005. PMID: 29167476
Chronic levodopa treatment leads to the appearance of dyskinesia in the majority of Parkinson's disease patients. Neurovascular dysregulation in putaminal and pallidal regions is thought to be an underlying feature...

Bimpisidis Z, Oberg C, Maslava N, Cenci M, Lundblad C
Exp Neurol . 2017 Mar; 292:113-124. PMID: 28284817
Preclinical imaging of brain activity requires the use of anesthesia. In this study, we have compared the effects of two widely used anesthetics, inhaled isoflurane and ketamine/xylazine cocktail, on cerebral...

Viereckel T, Dumas S, Smith-Anttila C, Vlcek B, Bimpisidis Z, Lagerstrom M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Oct; 6:35203. PMID: 27762319
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) of the midbrain are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), schizophrenia, mood disorders and addiction. Based on the recently unraveled...
