Reduced complement of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of mice with a constitutive “low footprint” genetic knockout of alpha-synuclein

Previous studies of the alpha-synuclein null mutant mice on the C57Bl6 genetic background have revealed reduced number of dopaminergic neurons in their substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). However, the prese...
