Studies of neuromodulation of spatial short-term memory have shown that dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) stimulation in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) dose-dependently modulates memory activity, whereas D2 receptors (D2Rs) selectively modulate activity related to eye movements hypothesized to encode movement feedback. We examined localized stimulation of D1Rs and D2Rs on DLPFC neurons engaged in a task involving rule representation in memory to guide appropriate eye movements toward or away from a visual stimulus. We found dissociable effects of D1R and D2R on DLPFC physiology. D1R stimulation degrades memory activity for the task rule and increases stimulus-related selectivity. In contrast, D2R stimulation affects motor activity tuning only when eye movements are made to the stimulus. Only D1R stimulation degrades task performance and increases impulsive responding. Our results suggest that D1Rs regulate rule representation and impulse control, whereas D2Rs selectively modulate eye-movement-related dynamics and not rule representation in the DLPFC.

At cellular and circuit levels, drug addiction is considered a dysregulation of synaptic plasticity. In addition, dysfunction of the glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has also been proposed as a mechanism underlying drug addiction. However, the cellular and synaptic impact of GLT-1 alterations in the NAc remain unclear.

Background/objectives: Dopamine replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) may lead to disabling incontrollable movements known as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been applied as non-invasive therapy to ameliorate motor symptoms and dyskinesias in PD treatment. Recent studies have shown that TMS-induced motor effects might be related to dopaminergic system modulation.

The mammalian striatum is divided into two types of anatomical structures: the island-like, μ-opioid receptor (MOR)-rich striosome compartment and the surrounding matrix compartment. Both compartments have two types of spiny projection neurons (SPNs), dopamine receptor D1 (D1R)-expressing direct pathway SPNs (dSPNs) and dopamine receptor D2 (D2R)-expressing indirect pathway SPNs. These compartmentalized structures have distinct roles in the development of movement disorders, although the functional significance of the striosome compartment for motor control and dopamine regulation remains to be elucidated.

Protein translation is essential for some forms of synaptic plasticity. Here we used fluorescent noncanonical amino acid tagging (FUNCAT) to examine whether dopamine modulates protein translation in cultured nucleus accumbens (NAc) medium spiny neurons (MSN). These neurons were co-cultured with cortical neurons to restore excitatory synapses.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common brain disorder that causes problems with movement and is getting more prevalent.
- Scientists found important brain cells in a specific area called the globus pallidus interna (GPi) that behave differently in PD patients compared to healthy people.
- The study looked at two types of brain cells linked to dopamine (a chemical in the brain) and discovered that one type had unusual behaviors in mice with PD, which may help explain how the disease develops.
