## Abstract Overactive AMPA receptorโmediated transmission may be involved in the pathogenesis of levodopaโinduced dyskinesia. The mechanism of action of the anticonvulsant drug topiramate involves attenuation of AMPA receptorโmediated transmission. In this study, the potential antidyskinetic actio

Long-term treatment with levodopa in Parkinson's disease results in the development of motor fluctuations, including reduced duration of antiparkinsonian action and involuntary movements, i.e., levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Cannabinoid receptors are concentrated in the basal ganglia, and stimulation
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients vary widely in their response to levodopa treatment, and this variation may be partially genetic in origin. We determined whether particular dopamine and opioid receptor polymorphisms were associated with risk of earlier onset of dyskinesia side effects during levod
