## Abstract We investigated the hypothesis that Parkinsons's disease (PD) is associated with abnormal plasticity of the neuronal circuits mediating blink reflex. We induced longβterm potentiation (LTP)βlike plasticity in trigeminal wide dynamic range neurons of the blink reflex circuit by pairing a
In three, normal, human subjects, tobacco smoking was used as a pharmacological probe to modify differentially the direct and indirect pathways underlying the blink reflex. The latency of the indirect R2 component of the orbicularis oculis electromyogram evoked by electrical stimulation of the trige
