Progressively Disrupted Somatodendritic Morphology in Dopamine Neurons in a Mouse Parkinson's Model
Conclusions: A progressive and severe decline in somatodendritic morphology occurs prior to cell death, but is not responsible for the subtle decrements observable in the earliest stages of neurodegeneration. This work could help identify the ideal time window for specific treatments to halt disease progression and avert debilitating motor deficits in Parkinson's patients. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
