The rise and fall of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons: Molecular programming by transcription factors Engrailed 1, Pitx3, and Nkx2.9 during the development of mesodiencephalic neurons
- Biology
- 2016
The origin story of the mdDA neuron is investigated in order to understand themdDA system in the healthy, adult brain as well as in the adult brain during pathological conditions and the molecular coding that define the molecular and functional differences between SN and VTA neurons is unraveled.

This review will discuss insights gained on the signaling network of secreted molecules, cell surface receptors, and transcription factors that regulate specification and differentiation of midbrain dopaminergic progenitors and neurons, from the induction of the ventral midbrain to the migration of dopamine neurons.
Neuronal Subset-Specific Migration and Axonal Wiring Mechanisms in the Developing Midbrain Dopamine System
- BiologyFront. Neuroanat.
- 2017
This review focuses largely on studies that show differences in these mechanisms between different subsets of mDA neurons and for which in vivo data is available, and is concluded by a section that discusses open questions and provides directions for further research.

Specification of dopaminergic subsets involves interplay of En1 and Pitx3
- BiologyDevelopment
- 2013
These findings show how two crucial mediators of mdDA neuronal development, En1 and Pitx3, interact in dopaminergic subset specification, the importance of which is exemplified by the specific vulnerability of the SNc found in PD.
Peri-Pubertal Emergence of UNC-5 Homologue Expression by Dopamine Neurons in Rodents
- BiologyPloS one

It is suggested that DCC:UNC5H ratios in DA neurons at critical periods may have important consequences for the organization and function of mesocorticolimbic DA systems.

Weaver mutation has differential effects on the dopamine-containing innervation of the limbic and nonlimbic striatum
- Biology, PsychologyNature
- 1984
Evidence is reported that the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal systems are differentially affected in the mutant mouse weaver, and in particular that dopamine is severely depleted in the dorsal striatum of weaver but relatively spared in the ventral striatum.
A Role of Netrin-1 in the Formation of the Subcortical Structure Striatum: Repulsive Action on the Migration of Late-Born Striatal Neurons
- BiologyThe Journal of Neuroscience
- 2001
The cell tracing study using living brain slices demonstrates that striatal SVZ cells migrate toward and disperse throughout the striatum, in which they differentiate into phenotypes of striatal projection neurons, suggesting that netrin-1 expressed in the striatal VZ serves to guide the large influx of Striatal matrix neurons into the Striatal primordium and is thereby involved in the initial formation of fundamental striatal structures.
