Abstract

G protein-coupled receptor 50 (GPR50) belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor which is highly homologous with the sequence of melatonin receptor MT1 and MT2. GPR50 expression has previously been reported in many brain regions, like cortex, midbrain, pons, amygdala. But, the distribution of GPR50 in the hippocampus and cortex and the cell types expressing GPR50 is not yet clear. In this study, we examined the distribution of GPR50 in adult male mice by immunofluorescence. Our results showed that GPR50 was localized in the CA1-3 pyramidal cells and the granule cells of the dentate gyrus. GPR50 was also expressed in excitatory and inhibitory neurons. As inhibitory neurons also contain many types, we found that GPR50 was localized in some interneurons in which it was co-expressed with the calcium-binding proteins calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin. Besides, similar results were seen in the cortex. The widespread expression of GPR50 in the hippocampus and cortex suggests that GPR50 may be associated with synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
