DOI: 10.1002/ana.26595
Abstract: The integrity of cortical motor networks and their descending effector pathway (the corticospinal tract [CST]) is a major determinant motor recovery after stroke. However, this view neglects the importance of ascending tracts and their modulatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cne.25352
Abstract: Calcium‐binding proteins (CBPs) regulate neuronal function in midbrain dopamine (DA)‐ergic neurons in mammals by buffering and sensing the intracellular Ca2+, and vesicular release. In birds, the equivalent set of neurons are important in song learning,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dneu.22607
Abstract: Nicotine exposure during gestation is associated with a higher risk of adverse behavioral outcomes including a heightened liability for dependency to drugs of abuse, which can exhibit drug‐specificity influenced by gender. This enhanced liability suggests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00429-017-1365-7
Abstract: A growing body of evidence suggests that dopamine plays a role in sleep–wake regulation, but the dopamine-producing brain areas that control sleep–wake states are unclear. In this study, we chemogenetically activated dopamine neurons in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11011-017-0023-3
Abstract: Dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are predicted to play important roles in reward. In pharmacological studies, the rewarding effects of methamphetamine are mediated by DA neurons localized in the VTA. The… read more here.
