ASAP is committed to accelerating the pace of discovery and informing a path to a cure for Parkinson’s disease through collaboration, research-enabling resources, and data sharing. We’ve created this catalog to showcase the research outputs and tools developed by ASAP-funded programs.
Dopamine neuron activity encodes the length of upcoming contralateral movement sequences
The relationship between the activity of dopaminergic neurons (DANs) and the length of movement sequences is unknown. The authors imaged the activity of SNc DANs in mice. Results indicate that movement-initiation DANs encode more than a general motivation signal and invigorate aspects of contralateral movements. View original preprint.
