Gómez Gálvez, Y. (2020). Effects of ageing on the vulnerability of the substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons: implications in Parkinson’s disease. (Thesis). Keele University

The degeneration of dopaminergic neurons (DAn) in the midbrain substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is a definitive feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although age has been established as one of the main risk factors, the role that ageing has in t...
