Striatal GDNF System Elicits Chemoattraction to RET Positive Dopamine Axons Seven Times Longer in Distance than the Abundant Medium Spiny Neurons and Covers Approximately One Twelfth of the Striatal Neuronal Volume

Abstract excerpt
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor GDNF is among the strongest dopamine neuron function and survival promoting factors known. Due to this reason, it has clinical relevance in dopamine disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Schizophrenia. In the striatum, GDNF is exclusively expressed in interneurons which make up only about 0.6% of striatal cells. Despite clinical significance, histological analysis of...
