Difference between Dopamine and Pars compacta

Dopamine vs. Pars compacta

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body. The pars compacta is a portion of the substantia nigra, located in the midbrain.

Similarities between Dopamine and Pars compacta

Dopamine and Pars compacta have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Cocaine, Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, Dopaminergic cell groups, Encephalitis, Food, Idiopathic disease, Midbrain, MPTP, Neuromelanin, Neurotransmitter, Nigrostriatal pathway, Parkinson's disease, Parkinsonism, Pars reticulata, Schizophrenia, Striatum, Substantia nigra.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia

The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia or the dopamine hypothesis of psychosis is a model that attributes symptoms of schizophrenia (like psychoses) to a disturbed and hyperactive dopaminergic signal transduction.

Dopaminergic cell groups

Dopaminergic cell groups are collections of neurons in the central nervous system that synthesize the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Midbrain

The midbrain or mesencephalon (from Greek mesos 'middle', and enkephalos 'brain') is a portion of the central nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.

MPTP

MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a prodrug to the neurotoxin MPP+, which causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease by destroying dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Nigrostriatal pathway

The nigrostriatal pathway or the nigrostriatal bundle (NSB), is a dopaminergic pathway that connects the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) with the dorsal striatum (i.e., the caudate nucleus and putamen).

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

Parkinsonism

Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.

Striatum

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain.

Substantia nigra

The substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that plays an important role in reward and movement.
