Neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) continues to be a serious problem in the psychopharmacology of schizophrenia. The overall mean prevalence of TD among chronically neuroleptic-treated patients is approximately 24 percent. The annual incidence in younger adults is 4 to 5 percent. Aging is a major risk factor for TD.

ABSTRACT— Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a syndrome of involuntary movements that develops in predisposed individuals during neuroleptic drug treatment, with an average prevalence of 15%. Neuroleptic (antidopaminergic) drugs are the predominant etiological factor.

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

The Acute Brain Response to Levodopa Heralds Dyskinesias in Parkinson Disease [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: In Parkinson disease (PD), long‐term treatment with the dopamine precursor levodopa gradually induces involuntary “dyskinesia” movements. The neural mechanisms underlying the emergence of levodopa‐induced dyskinesias in vivo are still poorly ...

Implanted Reuptake-deficient or Wild-type Dopaminergic Neurons Improve ON L-dopa Dyskinesias Without OFF-dyskinesias in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
OFF-L-dopa dyskinesias have been a surprising side-effect of intrastriatal foetal ventral mesencephalic transplantation in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Slow oscillatory activity and levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
The pathophysiology of levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) in Parkinson’s disease is not well understood. We have recorded local field potentials (LFP) from macroelectrodes implanted in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of 14 patients with Parkinson’s ...

Dopamine dysregulation in a mouse model of paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia. [PDF]
Paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is an autosomal dominant episodic movement disorder. Patients have episodes that last 1 to 4 hours and are precipitated by alcohol, coffee, and stress.
