Public Release: 18-Oct-2006
http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/index.php?kw=150 Neuron Insight into dopamine role suggests new treatment pathway for Parkinson's Dopamine (DA) not only functions as a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger between neurons by which one neuron triggers another, researchers have found. It also appears to coordinate the activity of a particular neural circuitry. In studies with mice, they found evidence that the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's and other related movement disorders may cause loss of muscle control and paralysis due to disruption of coordinated activity in this circuit.
