Transcriptome responses to reduced dopamine in the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta reveals a potential protective role for dopamine
2018-11-11
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s Disease (PD), is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting both cognitive and motor functions. It is characterized by decreased brain dopamine (DA) and a selective and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), whereas dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) show reduced vulnerability. The majority of animal models of PD are genetic lesion or neu...
