An arousing discovery on catalepsy: orexin regulates vestibular motor functions.

abstract：:We have investigated ubiquitinated paired helical filaments, which produce a proteinaceous smear in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The smear consisted largely of the carboxy-terminal portion of tau and ubiquitin. The ubiquitin-targeted protein was identified as tau in paired helical filamen...

abstract：:Recent studies indicate that dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) convey distinct signals. To explore this difference, we comprehensively identified each area's monosynaptic inputs using the rabies virus. We show that dopamine neurons in both areas integrate inp...
