"By comparing thousands of laboratory-grown dopamine neurons from humans, chimpanzees, macaques and orangutans, researchers found that human dopamine neurons express more genes that boost the activity of damage-reducing antioxidants than do those of the other primates."
"It's interesting and important to really try to understand what's specific about the human brain, with the potential of developing new therapies or even avoiding disease altogether in the future," says Andre Sousa.
"We hypothesized that the same process may be occurring, and these dopamine neurons may represent vulnerable joints," says study co-author Alex Pollen.
