title: Melanosis of the dentate nucleus: fine structure and histochemistry.
abstract: Ultrastructural and histochemical studies were done on a rare case of primary melanosis of the dentate nucleus. The coexistence of extraneuronal neuromelanin and glial lipofuscin in that region was observed and the interconvertability of these two pigments is suggested.
