Rodent models of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) are essential to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment options. Ratings of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) are used to capture both qualitative and quantitative features of ...

Basal ganglia calcification [PDF]
A 65-year-old man presented to the emergency room after a fall, sustaining a head injury. A CT of the head showed diffuse, symmetric parenchymal calcifications involving the thalami globus palladi and caudate heads (figures 1 and 2). Detailed evaluation revealed a long-standing history of muscle cramps, involuntary choreiform movements and gradual ...

Neurotransmitters in the Basal Ganglia [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe literature is reviewed on the afferents and efferents of the caudate/putamen, globus pallidus and substantia nigra, and on the neurotransmitters occurring in the various tracts. Emphasis is placed upon the diverse roles played by GABA and glutamate as transmitters in motor pathways and upon the probability that the substantia nigra pars ...

Neuropsychiatry of the basal ganglia [PDF]
This review aims to relate recent findings describing the role and neural connectivity of the basal ganglia to the clinical neuropsychiatry of basal ganglia movement disorders and to the role of basal ganglia disturbances in "psychiatric"' states. Articles relating to the relevant topics were initially collected through MEDLINE and papers relating to ...

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

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) and external globus pallidus (GP) form a recurrent excitatory–inhibitory interaction within the basal ganglia. Through a computational model of these interactions we show that, under the influence of appropriate external ...
