French term (edited): substance noire pars compacta...doivent etre perdus
Selected

pars compacta region of the substantia nigra

or (I think) the substantia nigra pars compacta, if you want to go totally Latin in syntax as well.

the 'doivent' refers to the dopaminergic neurons in this area - 70-80% of these must be lost before initial Parkinson's symptoms occur.
