## Abstract The caudal intralaminar nuclei are a major source of glutamatergic afferents to the basal ganglia. Experiments in the 6‐hydroxydopamine rat model have shown that the parafascicular nucleus is overactive and its lesion alleviates basal ganglia neurochemical abnormalities associated with
GM1 ganglioside administration has previously been shown to increase striatal dopamine levels and to enhance the density of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive fibers in the striatum of monkeys made parkinsonian by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The present study examined the extent t
## Abstract Parkinson's disease is characterized by the degeneration of melanized dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. The functional capacity of the surviving dopaminergic neurons is affected, as suggested by the subnormal levels of tyrosine hydroxylase messenger RNA and protein found in
