Some synaptic contacts between TH and ChAT cells are preserved in PD. a–d Immunostaining against TH (red) and VMAT2 (green) in retinal sections of control (a, c) and PD (b, d) patients. Immunostaining against ChAT (red) and VMAT2 (green) in retinal sections of control (e) and PD (f) patients. Details of TH and VMAT2 colocalization (arrowheads) in control (g, h) and PD (j, k) retinas. Insets of ChAT-VMAT2 connections (arrowheads) in control (i) and PD (l) retinas. Scale bars: 20 μm (a–f). 10 μm (g–l)
