D1 and D2 dopamine receptor-regulated gene expression of striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons.
The differential effects of dopamine on striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons are mediated by their specific expression of D1 and D2 dopamine receptor subtypes, respectively.

In patients with prodromal or mild AD, one year of monthly intravenous infusions of aducanumab reduces brain Aβ in a dose- and time-dependent manner, accompanied by a slowing of clinical decline measured by Clinical Dementia Rating—Sum of Boxes and Mini Mental State Examination scores.
Inhibition of the leucine-rich repeat protein LINGO-1 enhances survival, structure, and function of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease models

Results show that inhibitory agents of LINGO-1 activity can protect DA neurons against degeneration and indicate a role for the leucine-rich repeat protein LINGo-1 and related classes of proteins in the pathophysiological responses of midbrain DA neurons in PD.
Multiple actions of systemic artemin in experimental neuropathy

It is shown that systemic, intermittent administration of artemin produces dose- and time-related reversal of nerve injury–induced pain behavior, together with partial to complete normalization of multiple morphological and neurochemical features of the injury state.

Motor response complications and the function of striatal efferent systems
- T. Chase, M. Mouradian, T. Engber

To the extent that similar alterations contribute to the appearance of motor complications, the successful symptomatic therapy of Parkinson's disease may require continuous dopaminergic stimulation, as well as direct pharmacologic targeting of striatal dopaminoceptive systems.
