Post-mortem brain histological examination in the substantia nigra and subthalamic nucleus in parkinson`s disease following deep brain stimulation

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Increased neuroinflammation and neuronal cell loss are also prominent, particularly in the substantia nigra (SN) (Fearnley and Lees, 1991; Hardman et_al, 1996; Hirsch et_al, 2003). Currently, there are no treatments to halt or slow disease progression but deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is highly effective at relieving motor symptoms in PD (Limousin et_al, 1995; Tagliati et_al, 2010; Limousin and Foltynie, 2019; Jakobs et_al, 2019). The irregular burst of neuronal firing in the STN in PD patients is destabilized by DBS (Bergman et_al, 1994; Remple et_al, 2011) but less is . . .
