Neuroglial plasticity at striatal glutamatergic synapses in Parkinson's disease
Striatal dopamine denervation is the pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Another major pathological change described in animal models and PD patients is a significant reduction in the density of dendritic spines on medium spiny striatal projection neurons. Simultaneously, the ultrastr...
