Abstract excerpt
The nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) system, which includes DA neurons in the ventral and dorsal tiers of the substantia nigra pars compacta (vSNc, dSNc) and DA terminals in the dorsal striatum, is critically implicated in motor control. Accumulating studies demonstrate that both the nigrostriatal DA system and motor function are impaired in aged subjects. However, it is unknown whether dSNc and vSNc DA neurons...
