Congrats to Maite Azcorra, Zach Gaertner and team on establishing a connection between functional and genetic dopamine subtypes, including a movement related subtype that doesn't care about rewards! raj awatramani ASAP Team Awatramani Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s #ASAP_CRN nature.com/articles/s4159…
#NIH-funded research in mice at Northwestern found that dopamine, which affects the reward center in the brain, also helps to control movement. This finding could lead to new research targets for neurological diseases like #Parkinsons. bit.ly/3KsltPm
That feeling when the director of the #NIH retweets your thesis project 😎 P.S. to those in the comments asking "didn't we already know that?" -- feel free to read the study in Nature Neuroscience to see for yourself what's so novel about our findings!
Until recently, our understanding of Parkinson’s biology has been limited to mainly volunteers of European descent. In a groundbreaking research discovery, today new findings published in The Lancet Neurology reveal a novel genetic variant that increases the risk of Parkinson's among
Congrats to September's #OpenScience champions Maite Azorra and Zachary Gaertner! We're recognizing them for sharing underlying fiber photometry and RNA sequencing data, along with the analysis code, protocols, and RRIDs. See more: parkinsonsroadmap.org/open-science-c…
