Neuromelanin, iron and MRI measurements in midbrain tissues of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's subjects.

Background: In Parkinson's disease, decreased neuromelanin and increased Fe concentrations derive from the loss of neuromelanin-containing neurons in the substantia nigra, which is spared in Alzheimer's disease. We aimed to measure neuromelanin and Fe concentrations in post mortem midbrain subregion...
