Effects of Aging on the Ventral and Dorsal Substantia Nigra Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra produce dopamine for the nigrostriatal pathway that facilitates motor function. Post mortem examinations demonstrate an age-related loss of cells in the substantia nigra, with most of the cell loss focused on the dorsal substantia nigra compared with the...
