Low-dose MPTP causes neurodegeneration in forebrain. Using FD silver staining kit, degenerative neurons in striatum were found in an MPTP dose-dependent manner (2 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg). The degenerative neurons (arrows) are characterized by dense, dark silver precipitates in their cell bodies. This type of neuron is absent in saline and DOX groups. n = 3 per group. Scale bar, 20 μm.
