A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

My initial hypothesis was that the nucleus accumbens projection MCH neurons would drive strong baseline food intake, but that did not end up being the case.” Interestingly, the researchers also ...
