Optogenetic action potentials and intrinsic pacemaker interplay in retrogradely identified midbrain dopamine neurons Open
Dissecting the diversity of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons by optotagging is a promising addition to better identify their functional properties and contribution to motivated behavior. Retrograde molecular targeting of DA neurons with spec…

The human channel gating–modifying A749G CACNA1D (Cav1.3) variant induces a neurodevelopmental syndrome–like phenotype in mice Open
Germline de novo missense variants of the CACNA1D gene, encoding the pore-forming α1 subunit of Cav1.3 L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs), have been found in patients with neurodevelopmental and endocrine dysfunction, but their disease-causing p…

Inactivation mode of sodium channels defines the different maximal firing rates of conventional versus atypical midbrain dopamine neurons Open
Two subpopulations of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons are known to have different dynamic firing ranges in vitro that correspond to distinct projection targets: the originally identified conventional DA neurons project to the dorsal striatu…

A biophysical regulator of inhibitory integration and learning in mesolimbic dopamine neurons Open
Midbrain dopamine neurons are essential for flexible control of adaptive behaviors. DA neurons that project to different target regions have unique biophysical properties, and it is thought that this diversity reflects functional specializ…
