Abstract excerpt
Mutations of mitochondrial DNA are associated with a wide spectrum of disorders, primarily affecting the central nervous system and muscle function. The specific consequences of mitochondrial DNA mutations for neuronal pathophysiology are not understood. In order to explore the impact of mitochondrial mutations on neuronal biochemistry and physiology, we have used fluorescence imaging techniques to examine...
