Presented by Rebekah Evans, Ph.d., Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience at Georgetown University (March 24, 2021)

       PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • [00:03:04] Introduction: Explore the degeneration of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's Disease.
  • [00:05:40] Uncover the distinctions between healthy and Parkinson's-affected dopaminergic neurons.
  • [00:06:22] Investigate the inhibitory inputs that impact dopamine neurons through 2-Photon Imaging and electrophysiology. 
  • [00:27:57] Understand the rebound effect induced by striosomal input on dopamine neurons. 
  • [00:40:28] Assess whether the observed synaptic characteristics are sufficient to trigger rebound. 
  • [00:50:50] Q&A Session
