## Abstract ## Background Brain dopamine has been the focus of numerous studies owing to its crucial role in motor function and in neurological and psychiatric disease processes. Whilst early work relied on postmortem data, functional imaging has allowed a more sophisticated approach to the quanti

## Abstract Neurturin (NTN) is a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons. CEREβ120, an adenoβassociated virus type 2 (AAV2) vector encoding human NTN (AAV2βNTN), is currently being developed as a potential therapy for Parkinson's disease. This study examined the bioactivity and saf
## Abstract We investigated spatial learning in rats with unilateral and bilateral lesions of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. We used the Morris water maze paradigm, which tests spatial forms of learning and memory and allows discrimination between sensoryβmotor and learning disabilities. An
