Differential Alterations of Dopamine Transporter in the Striatum and Midbrain in Patients With Parkinsonian Syndrome

摘要

Objectives: Differential vulnerabilities of subregional dopamine neurons have been suggested in movement disorders such as idiopathic Parkinson disease. In this study, we examined dopamine transporter (DaT) density in the striatum versus midbrain (MB) in patients with nigrostriaml denervation.
