Substantia nigra and blood gene signatures and biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease from integrated multicenter microarray-based transcriptomic analyses

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
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

Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer MRI Signal Loss of the Substantia Nigra as an Imaging Biomarker to Evaluate the Diagnosis and Severity of Parkinson's Disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
The early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the accurate evaluation of disease severity are crucial for intervention and treatment in PD patients.

Ontogeny of synaptophysin and synaptoporin in the central nervous system [PDF]

, 1993
The expression of the synaptic vesicle antigens synaptophysin (SY) and synaptoporin (SO) was studied in the rat striatum, which contains a nearly homogeneous population of GABAergic neurons. In situ hybridization revealed high levels of SY transcripts in

Signal alterations of the basal ganglia in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: a retrospective case-controlled MRI data bank analysis

BMC Neurology, 2012
Background Based upon the acquainted loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease (PD), we hypothesised changes in magnetic resonance imaging signal intensities of the basal ganglia to be useful as an additional technical ...

Eyes as Gateways for Environmental Light to the Substantia Nigra: Relevance in Parkinson’s Disease

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Recent data indicates that prolonged bright light exposure of rats induces production of neuromelanin and reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra. This effect was the result of direct light reaching the substantia nigra

Distribution and Modulation of Histamine H3 Receptors in Basal Ganglia and Frontal Cortex of Healthy Controls and Patients with Parkinson's Disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2001
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a brain degenerative disorder with unknown etiology, and specific degeneration of mesencephalic dopaminergic cells is a morphological manifestation of the disease. The central histaminergic system appears to be activated in PD,

Locus coeruleus complex of the family Delphinidae [PDF]

, 2018
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the largest catecholaminergic nucleus and extensively projects to widespread areas of the brain and spinal cord. The LC is the largest source of noradrenaline in the brain.

A Direct Cortico-Nigral Pathway as Revealed by Constrained Spherical Deconvolution Tractography in Humans

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Substantia nigra is an important neuronal structure, located in the ventral midbrain, that exerts a regulatory function within the basal ganglia circuitry through the nigro-striatal pathway.

Fluid Biomarkers of Disease Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying objective biomarkers for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is crucial to improving diagnosis and establishing clinical trial and treatment endpoints. This study evaluated fluid biomarkers in PSP versus controls and their associations with regional 18F‐PI‐2620 tau‐PET, clinical, and cognitive outcomes.
