摘要
Parkinson's disease (PD) has been described as one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases affecting up to 2% of the worldwide population over 60 years of age. The hallmarks of PD are progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons and a decrease in striatal dopamine levels, which result in typ- ical clinical motor symptoms such as akinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and gait impairments. Although the causes for PD are only partially understood and seem to be very heterogeneous, one of the common phenomenons observed in toxin-based an- imal models of PD as well as PD patients is a microglia-driven neuroinflammatory response,
