Recently, it was reported that parkinsonlan patients exhibit mitochondrial abnormalhies which might be related to the production of either endogenous or exogenous toxins. We, thus, assessed possible inhibitory effects of dopamine-related compounds on mitochondrial respiration in rat brain. We found

## Abstract The primary motor cortex is important for motor learning and response selection, functions that require information on the expected and actual outcomes of behavior. Therefore, it should receive signals related to reward. Pathways from reward centers to motor cortex exist in primates. Pr
## Abstract In the majority of cases, mitochondrial disorders are multisystem conditions that most frequently affect the skeletal muscle, followed by the central nervous system. One of the clinical manifestations of central nervous system involvement is Parkinson's syndrome (PS). Evidence for an as
## Abstract The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme Q reductase (complex I) activity has recently been shown to be deficient in the substantia nigra of patients dying with Parkinson's disease. This biochemical defect is identical to that produced by the neurotoxin 1βmethylβ4β
## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by widespread neurodegeneration in the brain in addition to a selective yet prominent and progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Of the multiple theories suggested in the pathogenesis of PD, mitochondrial dysfunction takes a center sta
