Unique functional responses differentially map onto genetic subtypes of dopamine neurons - Nature Neuroscience

|

| Nature Verified
Abstract Dopamine neurons are characterized by their response to unexpected rewards, but they also fire during movement and aversive stimuli. Dopamine neuron diversity has been observed based on molecular expression profiles; however, whether different functions map onto such genetic subtypes remains unclear.

Sox6 expression distinguishes dorsally and ventrally biased dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra with distinctive properties and embryonic origins

|
By Milagros Pereira Luppi, Jean-Francois Poulin, Maite Azcorra, Giuliana Caronia-Brown
| Cell Reports Verified
Highlights • The SNc derives from Sox6+ and Sox6− progenitors, indicating a dual origin • Sox6+ and Sox6− DA neuron cohorts have distinctive projections to the striatum • Sox6+ DA neurons are enriched in pathways and genes that may underpin vulnerability • Sox6+,Aldh1a1+ neurons are selectively vulnerable in PD Summary Dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tier of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) degenerate prominently in Parkinson’s disease, while those in the dorsal tier are...
