Neurodegeneration (1 of 2)

Caption

Pictured is the cerebellar region of the brain of a mouse lacking the Golgi protein GM130 with the Purkinje neurons labelled in green and DNA in blue. There is loss of Purkinje neurons in the lobes on the right hand side, which results in inability to coordinate muscle movement (ataxia).
