Differences in Number of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons Associated with Summer and Winter Photoperiods in Humans.

Differences in Number of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons Associated with Summer and Winter Photoperiods in Humans.

Recent evidence indicates the number of dopaminergic neurons in the adult rodent hypothalamus and midbrain is regulated by environmental cues, including photoperiod, and that this occurs via up- or down-regulation of expression of genes and proteins that are important for dopamine (DA) synthesis in...
