The pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) is a selective and progressive loss of
dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). In the vast majority …

A number of neurotoxin-and gene-based rodent models of acute neurodegeneration of
nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons are used to study Parkinson's disease (PD). The rapid …

The studies in this dissertation are designed to address whether antidepressant-mediated
neuroplasticity can benefit Parkinson's disease (PD). The first aim investigates whether …

Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) are small natural proteins necessary for the development and
survival of nerve cells as well as for the maintenance of their morphological and functional …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common progressive, neurodegenerative disorder,
characterized predominantly by motor symptoms such as tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia …

Research on Parkinson's disease (PD) has mainly focused on the degeneration of the
dopaminergic neurons of nigro-striatal (NS) pathway; however, post-mortem studies have …

Parkinson's disease (PD) appears to be the second most frequent degenerative disorder of
