Abstract. We have quantified midbrain cell loss in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with controls; six patients had PD with onset before 70 years, five patients had late onset PD (>70 years) and nine patients had diffuse Lewy body disease.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior midbrain neuropathology in idiopathic parkinsons disease and diffuse lewy body disease In the Parkinson brains, the catecholamine cell groups of the midbrain, pons, and medulla showed variable neuropathological changes.
