Tyrosinase-induced neuromelanin accumulation triggers rapid dysregulation and degeneration of the mouse locus coeruleus
2023-03-10
Abstract excerpt
The locus coeruleus (LC), the major source of norepinephrine (NE) in the brain, is among the first sites of pathology in both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), and it undergoes catastrophic degeneration later in both disorders.
