## Abstract Glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease. To examine the role of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in this process, we infused a single dose of GDN
