Stages in the development of Parkinson disease (PD)-related pathology (path.). Adapted from Braak H, Ghebremedhin E, Rub U, Bratzke H, Del Tredici K. Stages in the development of Parkinson's disease-related pathology. Cell Tissue Res. 2004 Oct;318(1):121-34.
Schematic diagram of the basal ganglia circuitry. Represented are the following: inhibitory (red arrows) and excitatory (green arrows) projections between the motor cortex, the putamen, the globus pallidus pars externa (GPe) and globus pallidus pars interna (GPi), the subthalamic nucleus (STN), the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), and the ventrolateral thalamus (VL). D1 and D2 indicate the direct (regulated by dopamine D1 receptors) and indirect (regulated by dopamine D2 receptors) pathways, respectively.
Sagittal section, 12 mm lateral of the midline, demonstrating the subthalamic nucleus (STN) (lavender). The STN is one of the preferred surgical targets for deep brain stimulation to treat symptoms of advanced Parkinson disease.
The deep brain stimulating lead is equipped with 4 electrode contacts, each of which may be used, alone or in combination, for therapeutic stimulation.
Axial, fast spin-echo inversion recovery magnetic resonance image at the level of the posterior commissure. The typical target for placing a thalamic stimulator is demonstrated (cross-hairs).
Implantation of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead.
Insertion of an electrode during deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease.
Postoperative coronal magnetic resonance image (MRI) demonstrating desired placement of bilateral subthalamic nuclei-deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) leads.
Radiograph of the skull depicting a deep brain stimulator and leads in a patient with Parkinson disease.
Lewy bodies in the locus coeruleus from a patient with Parkinson disease.
A: Schematic initial progression of Lewy body deposits in the first stages of Parkinson disease (PD), as proposed by Braak and colleagues. B: Localization of the cluster of significant volume reduction in PD compared with health control subjects. The significant cluster located in the medulla oblongata/pons is superimposed as a red blob on the mean normalized anatomic scan of all participants. The axial and sagittal sections are centered on the peak of significance (–1; –36; –49). This image using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), which searched for regional atrophy in idiopathic PD by comparing a group of subjects with the disease and a group of healthy controls. Jubault T, Brambati SM, Degroot C, et al. Regional brain stem atrophy in idiopathic Parkinson's disease detected by anatomical MRI. PLoS ONE. 2009;4(12):e8247.
Gross comparison of the appearance of the substantia nigra between a normal brain and a brain affected by Parkinson disease. Note the well-pigmented substantia nigra in the normal brain specimen on the left. In the brain of a Parkinson disease patient on the right, loss of pigmented substantia nigra due to depopulation of pigmented neurons is observed.
Lewy bodies are intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions, often with halos, that are easily seen in pigmented neurons, as shown in this histologic slide. They contain polymerized alpha-synuclein; therefore, Parkinson disease is a synucleinopathy.
