Thanks for confirming. I also found in neurolex the following: "Ventral
tegmental area dopamine neuron". That means dopamine neuron (or
dopaminergic cell) can be found in more than one brain region. As far as
the "substantia nigra" is concerned, dopamine neuron is only found in
its subregion " pars compacta".

Thanks, Maryann. In other words, dopamine (or dopaminergic) neurons
are found only in the pars cmpacta portion of the substantia nigra.

Yes, they are same as the dopaminergic neurons are in the pars
compacta.

I'm posting the following question to the neurolex group in the
hope of
getting some neuroscience domain expert input to our microarray
use case
(http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/QueryFederation2 ).
One of the microarray experiments mentions "substantia nigra dopamine
neuron". I searched neurolex and found the following: "substantia
nigra
pars compacta dopaminergic cell". Are they the same? As I
understand it,
pars compacta is a portion of substantia nigra
Thanks,
