Difference between Pars compacta and Substantia nigra

Pars compacta vs. Substantia nigra

The pars compacta is a portion of the substantia nigra, located in the midbrain. The substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that plays an important role in reward and movement.

Similarities between Pars compacta and Substantia nigra

Pars compacta and Substantia nigra have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Calbindin, Cocaine, Desmethylprodine, Dopamine, Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, Midbrain, MPTP, Neuromelanin, Nigrostriatal pathway, Parkinson's disease, Parkinsonism, Pars reticulata, Schizophrenia, Striatum, Subthalamic nucleus.

Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia

The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia or the dopamine hypothesis of psychosis is a model that attributes symptoms of schizophrenia (like psychoses) to a disturbed and hyperactive dopaminergic signal transduction.

Midbrain

The midbrain or mesencephalon (from Greek mesos 'middle', and enkephalos 'brain') is a portion of the central nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.

MPTP

MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a prodrug to the neurotoxin MPP+, which causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease by destroying dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.

Neuromelanin

Neuromelanin (NM) is a dark pigment found in the brain which is structurally related to melanin.

Nigrostriatal pathway

The nigrostriatal pathway or the nigrostriatal bundle (NSB), is a dopaminergic pathway that connects the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) with the dorsal striatum (i.e., the caudate nucleus and putamen).

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

Striatum

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain.

Subthalamic nucleus

The subthalamic nucleus is a small lens-shaped nucleus in the brain where it is, from a functional point of view, part of the basal ganglia system.
