Female mice are resilient to age-related decline of substantia nigra dopamine neuron firing parameters

2019-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The degeneration of substantia nigra (SN) dopamine neurons is a central feature in the pathology associated with Parkinson’s disease, which is characterized by progressive loss of motor and cognitive functions. The largest risk factors for Parkinson’s disease are age and sex; most cases occur after age 60 and males have nearly twice the incidence as females. While much research in Parkinson’s has...
