This study shows that GBA mutations cause cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies through synaptic vesicle endocytosis defects, independent of alpha-synuclein pathology.

The paper investigates strain-specific susceptibility to MPTP in mice, finding differences in apoptotic factors and mitochondrial complexes that influence neuroprotection.

This study shows that auxilin deficiency causes Parkinson's disease by disrupting dopamine transporter function and synaptic vesicle sorting, leading to dopamine homeostasis disruption and neurodegeneration.

This study investigates olfactory dysfunction in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, finding that alpha-synuclein pathology and reduced neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb contribute to impaired olfaction.

The paper investigates developmental differences in mouse nigra that correlate with vulnerability to Parkinson disease, finding that CD-1 and crossbred mice show greater resilience due to reduced cell death and earlier neuronal maturation.
