The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this complex disease will likely need multiple complementary treatments.

But if it doesn’t have enough copper, it can twist into a toxic form that keeps building up in the brain tissue, specifically in the substantia nigra. If this happens, it kills off dopamine-producing ...

Dr Drupad Trivedi, a lecturer in Analytical Measurement Sciences at The University of Manchester, said: “Our goal is to develop a reliable, non-invasive test that helps doctors detect Parkinson’s ...

Located just above the brainstem, the substantia nigra receives its names from the darkly pigmented cells that make up the tissue. This cluster of dark cells pump out the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the predominantly dopamine-producing neurons in a specific area of the brain called substantia nigra.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra and widespread accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein and Lewy bodies in the ...
