Atrophy of medium spiny I striatal dendrites in advanced Parkinson's disease

Abstract

Loss of dopaminergic neurons from the pars compacta of the substantia nigra is the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and results in a partial deafferentation to the striatum. Since deafferentation is known to induce transynaptic atrophy of postsynaptic cells, we examined by Golgi impregnation the morphology of medium spiny I (MSI) striatal neurons, the principal target population for both nigrostriatal and corticostriatal fibers. Our quantitative data indicate that the dendritic arbor of MSI neurons in the putamen is significantly reduced in both length and number and MSI neurons are morphologically characterized by truncated dendrites with few dendritic spines and irregular, bulbous swellings. These data provide morphological evidence for the atrophy of striatal dendrites in PD and may explain, in part, the declining efficacy of chronic L-DOPA replacement therapy in advanced PD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
