Transcriptome analysis in a rat model of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
We have examined the pattern of striatal messenger RNA expression of over 8000 genes in a rat model of levodopa (l-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia and Parkinson disease (PD).

Impact of the lesion procedure on the profiles of motor impairment and molecular responsiveness to L-DOPA in the 6-hydroxydopamine mouse model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2011
6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions are being used in the mouse for basic research on Parkinson's disease and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. We set out to compare unilateral lesion models produced by intrastriatal or intramesencephalic injections of a fixed 6-

Amphetamine-induced abnormal movements occur independently of both transplant- and host-derived serotonin innervation following neural grafting in a rat model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2009
Serotonin has been postulated to play a role in the transplant-induced involuntary movements that occur following intrastriatal grafts of ventral mesencephalic tissue in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Neuroinflammation in the generation of post-transplantation dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2008
The observation that neural grafts can induce dyskinesias has severely hindered the development of a transplantation therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD).

The impact of graft size on the development of dyskinesia following intrastriatal grafting of embryonic dopamine neurons in the rat

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2006
Intrastriatal transplants of embryonic ventral mesencephalon can cause dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We assessed the impact of transplant size on the development of graft-induced dyskinesia.

Dissociation of metabolic and hemodynamic levodopa responses in the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2016
Dissociation of vasomotor and metabolic responses to levodopa has been observed in human subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) studied with PET and in autoradiograms from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat. In both species, acute levodopa administration was

Autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis associated with anti-recoverin antibodies: A case report

open access: yeseNeurologicalSci, 2021
Autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis causes neurological symptoms such as parkinsonism associated with basal ganglia lesions. Here, we report a case of autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis without retinal lesions or malignancy harboring anti-recoverin ...

The Basal Ganglia in Action [PDF]

open access: yesThe Neuroscientist, 2016
The basal ganglia (BG) are the major subcortical nuclei in the brain. Disorders implicating the BG are characterized by diverse symptoms, but it remains unclear what these symptoms have in common or how they can be explained by changes in the BG circuits.

PDZD8 is not the ‘functional ortholog’ of Mmm1, it is a paralog [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
Authors of a recent paper demonstrate that, like ERMES (ER-mitochondria encounter structure) in fungal cells, PDZD8 (PDZ domain containing 8) tethers mitochondria to the ER in mammalian cells.

Neuroimaging of Basal Ganglia in Neurometabolic Diseases in Children

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Diseases primarily affecting the basal ganglia in children result in characteristic disturbances of movement and muscle tone. Both experimental and clinical evidence indicates that the basal ganglia also play a role in higher mental states.
