## Abstract Overactive AMPA receptor‐mediated transmission may be involved in the pathogenesis of levodopa‐induced dyskinesia. The mechanism of action of the anticonvulsant drug topiramate involves attenuation of AMPA receptor‐mediated transmission. In this study, the potential antidyskinetic actio
Enhanced delta opioid receptor transmission may represent an endogenous compensatory mechanism in parkinsonism to reduce the activity of the indirect striatopallidal pathway following dopamine depletion. Furthermore, increased delta opioid receptor transmission may be causative in the production of
## Abstract In Parkinson's disease (PD), dyskinesia develops following long‐term treatment with 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐dopa). Given the prominent role of the opioid system in basal ganglia function, nonselective opioid receptor antagonists have been tested for antidyskinetic efficacy in the
