Non-ablative disease-modifying effects of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound in neuromelanin-producing parkinsonian rodents

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Age-dependent accumulation of the brain pigment neuromelanin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In humans, intracellular and extracellular neuromelanin levels are increased in PD postmortem brains and boosting neuromelanin production in rodents compromises neuronal function and viability and triggers a PD-like phenotype. Focused ultrasound has been shown to redu...
