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

Dopamine neuronal loss contributes to memory and reward dysfunction in a model of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Alterations of the dopaminergic (DAergic) system are frequently reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and are commonly linked to cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms. However, the cause of DAergic system dysfunction in AD remains to be elucidated.

GABA storage and release in the medial globus pallidus in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia priming
Levo-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is the most effective treatment for Parkinson's disease; however, most patients develop uncontrollable abnormal involuntary movements known as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia.

6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrobiopterin and Dopamine Release
We previously reported that intracerebroventricular administration of 6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6R-BJL), a cofactor for aromatic amino acid hydroxylases and nitric oxide synthase, induces an increase in DOPA levels (as an index of DA ...
