Substantia nigra and blood gene signatures and biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease from integrated multicenter microarray-based transcriptomic analyses [PDF]
BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, common neurodegenerative disorder with unclear etiology. The pathogenic hallmark is the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. PD diagnosis depends on clinical manifestation of symptoms but

Don't die like me: Which proteins are responsible for the selective neuronal vulnerability within the substantia nigra? [PDF]
A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the specific degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Interestingly, not all of these neurons are affected to the same extent.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the application value of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of iron deposition in the substantia nigra dense zone in Parkinson's disease (PD) and to evaluate the diagnostic value of

Patients with Parkinson's disease undergo a loss of melanized neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta and locus coeruleus. Very few studies have assessed substantia nigra pars compacta and locus coeruleus pathology in Parkinson's disease simultaneously

Illicit stimulant use is associated with abnormal substantia nigra morphology in humans. [PDF]
Use of illicit stimulants such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and ecstasy is an increasing health problem. Chronic use can cause neurotoxicity in animals and humans but the long-term consequences are not well understood. The aim of the current study was to

Measurement of the adult human midbrain with transcranial ultrasound.
BackgroundTranscranial sonography is increasingly used to aid clinical diagnoses of movement disorders, for example, to identify an enlarged area of substantia nigra echogenicity in patients with Parkinson's disease.ObjectiveThe current study ...

Crystals in the Substantia Nigra [PDF]
Crystals of TiO2 and CaO were detected in electron-beam exposed extracts of four substantia nigra specimens of Parkinson's disease donors. A likely precursor of the CaO crystals is inflammatory calcium oxalate dihydrate, decomposing according to CaC2O4·2H2O → CaO + CO↑ + CO2↑ + 2H2O↑.

Neuromelanin Imaging and Dopaminergic Loss in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which the major pathologic substrate is a loss of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra.

ObjectivesBrain iron deposition and microstructural changes in brain tissue are associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the correlation between these factors in Parkinson’s disease has been little studied.
