Alterations of the nigrostriatal pathway in a 6-OHDA rat model of Parkinson's disease evaluated with multimodal MRI.

Parkinson's disease is characterized by neurodegeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model has been used to study neurodegeneration in the nigro-striatal dopaminergic system. The goal of this study was to evaluate the re...
