Disentangling the relationship between Lewy bodies and nigral neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease

Abstract:

Progressive rostral spread of Lewy body (LB) pathology is thought to reflect the clinical course of Parkinson's disease (PD) although several studies have suggested that LBs are not the toxic species responsible for cell death. We investigated the relationship between nigral dopaminergic cell loss, distribution and density of α-synuclein-immunoreactive LBs and duration of motor symptoms in 97 patients with PD. Density of pigmented neurons was measured in a single section of one half of the su...
