Disease relevance of Parkinson Disease, Postencephalitic

A quantitative study of the melanin-containing dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal system (A 9) and of the mesolimbic system (A 10) was carried out on Nissl-stained serial sections of nine normal brains, six age-matched brains of schizophrenics, five brains of paralysis agitans, and six brains of postencephalitic parkinsonism [1].

Psychiatry related information on Parkinson Disease, Postencephalitic

Neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) formation is a feature of postencephalitic Parkinsonism (PEP) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) [2].

High impact information on Parkinson Disease, Postencephalitic

His exceptional career was prematurely ended by a neurodegenerative illness variously ascribed to Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, or postencephalitic parkinsonism [3].
