Postnatal Expression of α-Synuclein Protein in the Rodent Substantia nigra and Striatum

A primary goal of our research is to elucidate the mechanisms involved in neuroplasticity of the basal ganglia in both development and in response to injury. One means to this aim is through the analysis of the ontological profile of proteins in the basal ganglia and to correlate their pattern of expression with morphological development. One protein thought to be important in neuroplasticity is alpha-synuclein. The purpose of this study was to...
