  • Since neurons in the SN are postmitotic, any mitochondrial damage they acquire could accumulate over an organism's lifetime, leading to progressive mitochondrial dysfunction-including increased oxidative stress, decreased calcium buffering capacity, loss of ATP, and, eventually, cell death-unless quality control processes eliminate the damaged mitochondria.
