Recent findings suggest that acetylcholine mediates uncertainty-seeking behaviors through its projection to dopamine neurons - another neuromodulatory system known for its major role in reinforcement learning and decision-making. In this paper, we pr...
Catecholamine neurotransmitters, specifically, dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE), are known as substantial indicators of various neurological diseases. Developing rapid detection methods capable of simultaneously screening thei...

BACKGROUND: Theoretical models have emphasized systems-level abnormalities in major depressive disorder (MDD). For unbiased yet rigorous evaluations of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying MDD, it is critically important to develop data-driven ap...
Dopamine has a major behavioral impact related to drug dependence, learning and memory functions, as well as pathologies such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Phasic release of dopamine can be measured in vivo with fast-scan cyclic voltammet...
Food exploration is an essential survival behavior in organisms. To find food efficiently, many organisms use a foraging strategy called area-restricted search (ARS) wherein individuals first turn more frequently, restricting their search to one area...
The neuroimaging techniques such as dopaminergic imaging using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) with Tc-TRODAT-1 have been employed to detect the stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this retrospective study, a total of 202 Tc-TRO...
To overcome the limitations of fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) to discriminate between catecholamines, we discuss new approaches to monitor the dynamics of these neurochemicals with high spatial, genetic, and temporal specificity.
Organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residues in agricultural products, herbal medicines and environment have attracted increasing concerns because they cause high healthy risk. Herein, a tyrosinase-mediated photoinduced electron transfer system was const...
Unbiased estimates of neuron numbers within substantia nigra are crucial for experimental Parkinson's disease models and gene-function studies. Unbiased stereological counting techniques with optical fractionation are successfully implemented, but ar...

Most psychiatric disorders emerge during childhood and adolescence. This is also a period that coincides with the brain undergoing substantial growth and reorganisation. However, it remains unclear how a heightened vulnerability to psychiatric disord...
