The Cerebellar Dopaminergic System

“…In the human cerebellum, immunohistochemical experiments revealed the presence of DAT immunoreactive fibers and neuronal cell bodies in lobules VII and IX (crus I and II, ansiform lobules, and tonsilla) and in the dentate nucleus (Table 1; Figures 1, 2; Flace, 2017Flace, , 2019bFlace, , 2020Flace et al, 2018aFlace et al, , 2019bFlace et al, , 2020. There is a significant presence of DAT immunoreactive dendritic arborization of the Purkinje neurons in the molecular layer of the human cerebellar cortex (Table 1; Figure 1).…”

“…There is a significant presence of DAT immunoreactive dendritic arborization of the Purkinje neurons in the molecular layer of the human cerebellar cortex (Table 1; Figure 1). Moreover, the DAT immunoreactivity has been detected in form of clusters in the neuropil among the space of Held, the sites of the cerebellar glomeruli (Table 1; Figure 1; Flace, 2017Flace, , 2019bFlace, , 2020Flace et al, 2018aFlace et al, , 2019bFlace et al, , 2020.…”

“…In the dentate nucleus, the DAT immunoreactivity in neuronal cell bodies and processes of different neuron types has been detected (Table 1; Figure 3); the small neuron type is involved in intrinsic circuits, the medium neuron type (Table 1; Figure 3) mainly involved in intrinsic and also in extrinsic circuits, and four different large neuron types, which include the central neuron, the border neuron, the intermediate asymmetrical neuron, and the intermediate fusiform neuron, involved in projective circuits of the dentate nucleus (data not showed; Chan-Palay, 1977;Maric, 2010;Ristanović et al, 2010;Flace et al, 2017Flace et al, , 2019bFlace et al, , 2020Flace, 2018). Dopamine transporter immunoreactivity in neuronal cell bodies and processes of the perivascular neuron type has also been observed, a neuron type may be involved in regulatory mechanisms of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and in volume transmission mechanisms (data not showed; Flace et al, 2004;Ambrosi et al, 2007;Flace, 2017Flace, , 2018Flace, , 2019bFlace, , 2020. Furthermore, through different methods in the cerebellum of mammals, a wide distribution of the dopaminergic receptor subtypes (DRD 1 -DRD 5 ) has been observed (Table 2; Camps et al, 1989;Cortés et al, 1989;Levant, 1998;Barili et al, 2000;Kiss et al, 2011;Flace et al, 2019bFlace et al, , 2020.…”

A journal of histochemistry as a forum for non-histochemical scientific societies

“…One of the ways to achieve this goal is to publish the proceedings of the Society meetings and conferences thus making them available to the scientific community: the European Journal of Histochemistry, for instance, has regularly published the congress proceedings of the Italian Society of Histochemistry from 1958 16 (Figure 1) to present. 17 These journal supplementary issues provide a detailed record on how his-tochemistry developed in Italy over the last sixty years, but were -at the time of their publication (and today as well)-a snapshot of the current state and interests of the histochemical research.…”

“…In addition, the abstracts of several scientific meetings were also published: the "Pavia symposium on embryos and stem cells", 18 the XXII Annual Meeting of the Italian Group for Ultrastructural Pathology, 19 and the Conferences "Correlative Microscopy in Life and Materials Sciences" 20 and "Therapeutic nanoproducts: from biology to innovative technology". 21 In recent years, the national congresses of the Italian Society of Histochemistry have jointly been organized with the two other scientific Societies whose fellows have microscopy and histochemistry among the technologies and methods in their investigations: 17,22,23 the GEI-Italian Society of Development and Cell Biology), in 2015 and 2019, and the Italian Society of Anatomy and Histology, in 2017.…”
