Goldszer. “What we don’t know is what it is about aging that causes Parkinson’s disease.” “The aging process causes a loss of the neurons in the substantia nigra,” which is a small brain structure ...

Aging is an inevitable progressive decline in physiological organ function that increases the chance of disease and death. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in the regulation of ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Dopamine originates in various parts of the brain, such as the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental ... But no: you’re changing the entire behavioral structure. And what was really ...

Stop the Spread. Injecting saline into mouse kidneys did not affect the left or right substantia nigra (top). Injecting fibrils of α-synuclein ablated about half of the dopaminergic neurons (middle ...

Orexin signaling in the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra promotes locomotion and reward processing, but it is not clear whether dopaminergic neurons directly mediate these effects. We show ...

A Colorado Springs family hopes to win what they believe would be a landmark legal verdict by proving to jurors next month that mold exposure in a rented apartment caused Parkinson's disease in a ...

MAYFIELD — The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts will unveil its 2025 Winter Solstice Art Show on Friday. The display, which will remain open until Mar. 13, features the work of 56 artists ...
