          Parkinson’s Gene May Impair How New Neurons Are Made Throughout Our Lifetime

          PINK1, a gene associated with Parkinson's disease, is not just responsible for the premature death of dopaminergic neurons, it also plays a key role in the neurogenesis of dopamine neurons throughout life.
