A workflow using ImageJ/FIJI aims to create three-slice MIPs from multi-series .czi files to capture weak signals. It involves extracting datasets, creating projections, and saving images for efficient analysis in CellProfiler.
LID is poorly understood, our research on dyskinetic mice show SPNs' properties oscillate during LID and are influenced by dopamine and acetylcholine signaling. Targeting M1 receptors in iSPNs reduced LID severity and improved levodopa effects.
PD and DLB involve α-syn inclusions in the amygdala affecting cognition and emotions. Cortico-amygdala synapses with α-syn aggregates show increased volume of synapses, potentially contributing to behavioral impairments.
