## Abstract Overactive AMPA receptorβmediated transmission may be involved in the pathogenesis of levodopaβinduced dyskinesia. The mechanism of action of the anticonvulsant drug topiramate involves attenuation of AMPA receptorβmediated transmission. In this study, the potential antidyskinetic actio
This report describes a method to assess, in vivo, the turnover of dopamine (DA) and describes its application to the evaluation of DA function in normal monkeys and monkeys with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced lesions of the DA nigro-striatal pathway. Using positron emis
The substantia nigra of the rostral mid-brain of a monkey was studied using Raman microspectroscopy. The white and grey matter could be clearly distinguished and their relative proportions evaluated from the Raman peaks in the 3000 cm-1 region. Raman spectra obtained from the substantia nigra for bo
Long-term treatment with levodopa in Parkinson's disease results in the development of motor fluctuations, including reduced duration of antiparkinsonian action and involuntary movements, i.e., levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Cannabinoid receptors are concentrated in the basal ganglia, and stimulation
