- Title
Dendritic architecture: form and function.
- Authors
Javier, Robyn M; Kreitzer, Anatol C
- Abstract
The article presents a study related to the differences in the functions of dopaminergic neurons in the substantial nigra in relation to the dendritic structure and differential synaptic innervation. It mentions that the study by responding to specific stimuli differently, explores the relationship between form and function in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). A brief tail pinch in rats is used, a salient aversive stimulus that modulates the activity of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
