Abstract:Background: Midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDA) play an important role in controlling the voluntary motor movement, reward behaviour and emotion-based behaviour. Differentiation of mDA neurons from progenitors depends on several secreted proteins, such as sonic hedgehog (SHH), and transcription factors. Different groups from mDA neurons arise from the varied patterns of SHH expression during development. The present study attempted to elucidate in mice embryo model, through in situ hybridization and immunohist… Show more
