Description: A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 12 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior inferior lateral protocerebrum. Members of this group project to various parts of the mushroom body: the tip of the alpha lobe, the tip of the alpha' lobe, the upper portion of the alpha lobe segment 2, alpha lobe segment 1 and the lower part of segment 2, and the pedunculus and spur. Other members of this group arborize in areas other than the mushroom body: the edge of the medial portions of the medial lobes, broad areas surrounding the ipsilateral vertical lobes, areas posterior to the ipsilateral vertical lobes, and the entire span of the superior arch.

Description: A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 6 cell bodies in the cortex of the posterior inferior lateral protocerebrum. Members of this group send processes to various parts of the brain: one group send processes to the calyx, the inferior portion of the lateral horn and broad areas in the middle superior medial protocerebrum, another group sends processes to the calyx, the entire lateral horn and broad areas of the middle superior protocerebrum, another subgroup innervates the lobula and broad protocerebral areas, and a final group innervates the posterior lateral protocerebrum.

Description: A dopaminergic neuron whose cell body is located in a cluster of approximately 100 cell bodies in the cortex of the anterior inferior medial protocerebrum. At least some members of this group project to the medial tip of, and areas posterior to, the mushroom body medial lobe.

Description: Unpaired midbrain region situated in the ventromedial portion of the reticular formation. The VTA is medial to the substantia nigra and ventral to the red nucleus, and extends caudally from the posterior hypothalamus in the diencephalon. The VTA contains dopamine neurons that project to various limbic and cortical areas and is a critical component of the brain's reward circuitry.
Preferred ID: MESH:M0026617 Type: term ID# ILX:0112351 Score: 6.43499
Description: These flies exhibit a mutation in the protein parkin. Loss of function in parkin results in the accumulation of toxic substrates. This causes locomotive defects, dopaminergic neuron degeneration, mitochondrial dysfunction, and sensitivity to oxidative stress. Physically, Parkin mutants are smaller, show locomotive dysfunction, sterile, and have a decreased lifespan. Parkin mutant drosophila exhibit many of the same symptoms as Parkinson's disease and are used in the laboratory to study the disease.
