Chennai– A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has found energy deficiency in certain cells in the human brain to be a major cause for Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder.
According to the team, it is known that Parkinson’s disease is caused by the loss of dopaminergic cells (located in the central nervous system) in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), a key component of the ventral midbrain.
“It is quite remarkable that loss of neurons in a small nucleus like SNc can have wide-ranging, devastating effects in all the four major domains of brain function sensory-motor, cognitive, affective and autonomous,” V. Srinivasa Chakravarthy from the institution said in a statement.
