Theme
Neuromelanin and selective neuronal vulnerability to Parkinson’s disease
Neuromelanine (NM), a pigment in human catecholamine neurons, plays a crucial role in PD. We review the development of NM in dopamine versus noradrenaline neurons and focus on previously overlooked cellular organelles in NM format and function.

Adult-specific Reelin expression alters striatal neuronal organization: implications for neuropsychiatric disorders
Reelin levels might modulate the numbers of striatal interneurons and the density of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic projections, suggesting that these changes may be involved in the protection of Reelin against neuropsychiatric disorders.
