## Abstract Data on the frequency of __PINK1__ mutations in Brazilian patients with earlyβonset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) are lacking. The aim of this report was to investigate mutations of the __PINK1__ gene in a cohort of Brazilian patients with EOPD. Sixty consecutive familial or sporadic EOPD
## Abstract Abnormalities in mitochondrial function relate to the spectrum of pathological changes seen in Alzheimer's disease. Here we review the causes and consequences of mitochondrial disturbances in Alzheimer's disease as well as how this information might impact on therapeutic approaches to t
The cause of the selective degeneration of nigrostriatal neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) is still enigmatic. However, the last several years since the introduction of the concept of apoptosis have been characterized by exciting advances that may shed light on the process of the neuronal death un
## Abstract Depression is frequent in Parkinson's disease, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. Two recent studies have investigated the role of serotonergic system at the presynaptic level. The objective of the present study was to use positron emission tomography and [^18^F]MPPF to investigat
