How dysfunctional packaging of dopamine advances symptoms of Parkinson's disease
A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons—and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP). Parkinson's gradually destroys dopamine-producing neurons in a specific area of the midbrain, causing tremors, stiffness, and movement problems. Two key features are the accumulation of the protein α-synuclein into Lewy bodies and the loss of dopaminergic neurons.
