Reduced cerebral blood flow in an α-synuclein transgenic mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

There is increasing evidence that widespread cortical cerebral blood flow deficits occur early in the course of Parkinson’s disease. Although cerebral blood flow measurement has been suggested as a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, as well as a means for tracking response to treatment, the relationship of cerebral blood flow to α-synucleinopathy, a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, remains unclear....
