Close to understanding Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder characterized by the presence of protein deposits mainly made up of α-synuclein (α-Syn) located in the inner part of neurons in the region of the brain called substantia nigra. These deposits, known as Lewy bodies or amyloid plaques, are abnormal accumulations that do not degrade and eventually eliminate the dopaminergic neurons, the ones in charge of producing the neurotransmitter dopamine. |
