Intrastriatal transplantation of dopaminergic neurones aims to repair the selective loss of nigrostriatal projections and the consequent dysfunction of striatocortical circuitries in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we have studied the effects of bilateral human embryonic dopaminergic grafts on the m

## Abstract Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), but the medication requirements after implant are poorly known. We performed a long‐term prospective evaluation of 20 patients maintained at stable dopaminergic therapy for 5 ye
## Abstract Dopaminergic (DA) grafts in rat models of Parkinson's disease (PD) have previously been derived from embryonic day (E) 14 grafts. Because there is an increasing interest in the restorative capacity of DA stem and progenitor cells, in the present study we examined the survival and early
Despite the major finding of a genetic defect being responsible for the Parkinson's disease (PD) phenotype in some kindreds with dominantly transmitted PD, the role of inheritance in the cause of the more widespread sporadic form of the disease is still unclear. Twin studies are a classic tool for a
Infants' preferences for a novel or familiar nursery rhyme were examined as an index of long-term memory. One-to 2-month-old infants' preferences were tested, using a nonnutritive sucking, discriminationlearning procedure, at 1, 2, or 3 days after the last of multiple familiarization sessions. A con
