The neostriatal mosaic: II. Patch- and matrix-directed mesostriatal dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic systems

Abstract: Mesostriatal projections, which arise from dopaminergic and non- dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area, substantia nigra, and retrorubral area, are compartmentally organized in the striatum. Anterograde axonal tract tracing with Phaseolus vulgaris- leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), combined with immunohistochemical localization of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and autoradiographic localization of mu- opiate receptor binding sites, shows that midbrain projections to the striatum are distributed to either the mu… Show more

“…The α6α4β2β3 subtype may thus provide a unique marker for dopamine nerve terminals that are particularly sensitive to nigrostriatal degeneration. This possibility is consistent with previous work indicating that dopaminergic afferents from the nigra to the striatum are variably susceptible to nigrostriatal insults [114,115]. Studies to understand the molecular basis for this enhanced vulnerability have linked calbindin to nigrostriatal dopamine neuron survival [116][117][118] while neuromelanin has been negatively associated [119][120][121][122].…”

“…These dopaminergic cell groups have slightly different characteristics and projection patterns, innervating the striatum in a topographic manner (Figure 1). Dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tier of the SNpc projects to the patch compartment of the dorsolateral striatum (mainly putamen), through the nigrostriatal pathway (3,31), and is involved in in motor control (42). The dorsal part of the SNpc projects to the matrix of the ventromedial striatum (mainly caudate nucleus) through the mesocortical pathway and is associated with cognition, whereas the VTA projects to the matrix of the ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens) and is involved in reward (43,44).…”

“…Clustered dopaminergic neurons of the dorsal tier of the SNpr mainly target the striatal patch compartment. Moreover, the matrix-directed dopaminergic neurons express calbindin immunoreactivity, whereas dopaminergic neurons projecting to the patches do not (3). The remaining 10% of dopaminergic cells are located in the hypothalamus (A11-A15) (35) and the olfactory bulb (A16), involved in autonomic and endocrine functions, and olfaction, respectively (45).…”

“…Both pars reticulata GABAergic projection neurons as well as pars compacta dopaminergic neurons receive innervation from striatonigral neurons. The two cell populations are unlikely to receive the same set of afferent information from the striatum, however, as the major input to the GABAergic neurons comes from the striatal matrix compartment whereas that to the dopaminergic neurons, at least to their somata, arises from the patch compartment (Gerfen, 1985;Gerfen et al, 1987).…”
