Abstract
In a recent study, Haas, Bravo, and colleagues integrated optogenetic stimulation with simultaneous functional in vivo positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements in rats. By activating the nigrostriatal pathway in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), they observed concurrent metabolic and hemodynamic fluctuations associated with the dopaminergic pathway in living animals at the whole-brain level.
期刊介绍:
For over four decades, Trends in Neurosciences (TINS) has been a prominent source of inspiring reviews and commentaries across all disciplines of neuroscience. TINS is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal, and its articles are curated by the Editor and authored by leading researchers in their respective fields. The journal communicates exciting advances in brain research, serves as a voice for the global neuroscience community, and highlights the contribution of neuroscientific research to medicine and society.
