## Abstract Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STNβDBS) has become an effective treatment option in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent animal studies showed an increase of neuronal firing in dopaminergic neurons under effective STNβDBS. Increased striatal dopamine levels may
Localization of dopamine (D 1 -, D 2 -like, and D 4 ) and ionotropic glutamate (NMDA, AMPA, and KA) receptor subtypes within the striatolimbic forebrain remains incomplete, but basic to understanding the functional organization of this important brain region. We found that frontal cortical ablation
## Abstract Recent reports have suggested that elevations of serum dopamineβBβhydroxylase (DBH) activity may correlate with diagnosis in neuroblastoma patients excreting vanillylmandelic acid (VMA). We have serially studied serum DBH and urinary homovanillic acid (HVA) and VMA excretion during the
Degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system is the characteristic neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease and therapy is primarily based on a dopamine replacement strategy. Dopamine has long been recognized to be a key neuromodulator of basal ganglia function, essential for normal
