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.

DOPA pheomelanin is increased in nigral neuromelanin of Parkinson’s disease

Neuromelanin in the substantia nigra may be a key factor contributing to dopaminergic neuron vulnerability in Parkinson’s disease. Here, the authors investigated the relative composition and specific roles of pheomelanin and eumelanin in PD.
