Neurochemical signals like dopamine (DA) play a crucial role in variety of brain functions through intricate interactions with other neuromodulators and intracellular signaling pathways. However, studying these complex networks has been hindered by the challenge detecting multiple neurochemicals vivo simultaneously. To overcome this limitation, we developed single-protein chemigenetic DA sensor, HaloDA1.0, which combines cpHaloTag-chemical dye approach G protein-coupled receptor activation-based (GRAB) strategy, providing high sensitivity for DA, sub-second response kinetics, an extensive spectral range from far-red to near-infrared. When used together existing green red fluorescent neuromodulator sensors, Ca2+ indicators, cAMP optogenetic tools, HaloDA1.0 provides versatility multiplex imaging cultured neurons, slices, behaving animals, facilitating in-depth studies dynamic neurochemical networks.

ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, leading to motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Non‐motor symptoms, including depression, hyposmia, sleep disturbances, often emerge in early stages PD, but their mechanisms remain poorly understood. The 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA) rodent model well‐established tool for preclinical research, replicating key non‐motor PD. In this review, we systematically analyzed 135 studies that used 6‐OHDA models PD investigate symptoms. review process adhered Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Our analysis highlights growing use experimental research It also reveals significant variability methodologies, choices brain target, toxin dosage, lesion verification strategies, behavioral assessment reporting. Factors hinder reproducibility comparability findings across studies. We highlight need standardization 6‐OHDA‐based with particular emphasis on consistent evaluation extent reporting co‐occurrence By fostering methodological coherence, framework aims enhance reproducibility, reliability, translational value symptom research. image

Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons comprise diverse cells with unique innervation targets and functions. This is illustrated by the selective sensitivity of mDA substantia nigra compacta (SNc) in patients Parkinson’s disease, while those ventral tegmental area (VTA) are relatively spared. Here, we used single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) approximately 70,000 mouse midbrain to build a high-resolution atlas neuron diversity at molecular level. The results showed that differences between groups could best be understood as continuum without sharp subtypes. Thus, assigned several ‘territories’ ‘neighborhoods’ within shifting gene expression landscape where boundaries gradual rather than discrete. Based on enriched patterns these territories neighborhoods, were able localize them adult midbrain. Moreover, because underlying mechanisms for variable sensitivities pathological insults not well understood, analyzed surviving after partial 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions unravel correlate vulnerability resilience. Together, this provides basis further studies neurophysiological role health disease.

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients exhibit neuropsychiatric symptoms that extend beyond classical cognitive deficits, suggesting involvement of subcortical areas. Here, we investigated the role midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons in AD using amyloid + tau-driven 3xTg-AD mouse model. We found deficits reward-based operant learning mice, possible VTA DA neuron dysregulation. Physiological assessment revealed hyperexcitability and disrupted firing caused by reduced activity small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) channels. RNA sequencing from contents single patch-clamped (Patch-seq) identified up-regulation SK channel modulator casein kinase 2 (CK2), which corroborated immunohistochemical protein analysis. Pharmacological inhibition CK2 restored normal patterns mice. These findings identify a mechanism ion dysregulation could contribute to behavioral abnormalities AD, paving way for novel treatment strategies.

Abstract Correct timing of neurogenesis is critical for both generating the correct number and subtypes glia neurons in embryo, as well preventing tumours depletion stem cell pools adults. Here we analyse how midbrain dopamine neuron (mDA) progenitors transition into cycle arrest (G0) begin to mature ependymal cells. The comparison mDA from different embryonic stages revealed upregulation Nfi Sox9 transcription factors during development. Their conditional inactivation early leads delayed G0 entry maturation, reduced gliogenesis, increased generation neurons, including neurons. In contrast, their late embryogenesis does not result mitotic re-entry, suggesting that these are necessary induction, but its maintenance. Our characterisation mDA-progenitor-derived adult cells by single-cell RNA sequencing histology show they retain several progenitor features also secrete neuropeptides contact neighbouring blood vessels, indicating may form a novel part circumventricular organ system.
