Serotonin system implication in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia: from animal models to clinical investigations [PDF]

, 2014
In the recent years, the serotonin system has emerged as a key player in the induction of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in animal models of Parkinson's disease. In fact, serotonin neurons possess the enzymatic machinery able to convert exogenous l-DOPA
