abstract = {Neurons synthesizing the neurotransmitter dopamine exert
crucial functions in the mammalian brain. The biggest and
most important population of dopamine-synthesizing neurons
is located in the mammalian ventral midbrain (VM), and
controls and modulates the execution of motor, cognitive,
affective, motivational, and rewarding behaviours.
Degeneration of these neurons leads to motor deficits that
are characteristic of Parkinson's disease, while their
dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of psychiatric
disorders including schizophrenia and addiction. Because the
aetiology and therapeutic prospects for these diseases
include neurodevelopmental aspects, substantial scientific
interest has been focused on deciphering the mechanistic
pathways that control the generation and survival of these
neurons during embryonic development. Researches during the
last decade revealed the pivotal role of the secreted Wnt1
ligand and its signalling cascade in the generation of the
dopamine-synthesizing neurons in the mammalian VM. Here, we
summarize the initial and more recent findings that have
unravelled several Wnt1-controlled genetic networks required
for the proliferation and commitment of VM progenitors to
the dopaminergic cell fate during midgestational embryonic
stages, and for the correct differentiation of these
progenitors into postmitotic dopamine-synthesizing neurons
at late midgestational embryonic and foetal stages.},
