Viral Vector Mediated Overexpression of Human α-Synuclein in the Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons: A New Model for Parkinson's Disease
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is predominantly a dopamine deficiency syndrome, which is produced in the brain by the loss of cells located in a small area in the ventral midbrain called the substantia nigra. Complete unilateral dopamine lesions, based on the administration of toxic substances (ie, 6-hydroxy-dopamine in rats and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in mice and primates) have been extremely useful in...
