Adult humans lose around 5% of our dopamine-producing neurons each decade. We’d all develop Parkinsonian signs and symptoms if we lived long enough. Can youthful function be restored?

The loss jumps from 5% to 15% a decade if taking antipsychotics :/ Perhaps step #1 for millions of people would be to switch to a more humane medication regime to treat mental illness. E.g. anti-tolerance drugs + mild opioids? Just a thought! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23454261
