The neurotoxin MPTP destroys dopamine neurons in human and nonhuman primates. However, MPTP is less toxic in mice, suggesting that it may be metabolized differently among species. Herein, we report the effects of MPTP on the levels of catecholamines and their metabolites and on tyrosine hydroxylase

## Abstract We report a 67βyearβold patient with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC). He presented with progressive cognitive impairment, frontal lobe dysfunction, mild leg spasticity, and levodopa (Lβdopa)βresponsive parkinsonism. Transcranial sonography (TCS) revealed marked hyperechoge
The current model of the organization of basal ganglia was proposed in the 1980s following key observations made on animal models of neurodegenerative diseases and patients who had hypo-or hyperkinetic movement disorders.I4 This model rapidly became the ultimate way of interpreting how basal ganglia
