Abstract excerpt
Most forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are sporadic in nature, but some have genetic causes as first described for the alpha-synuclein gene. The alpha-synuclein protein also accumulates as insoluble aggregates in Lewy bodies in sporadic PD as well as in most inherited forms of PD. The focus of the present study is the modulation of synaptic plasticity in the corticostriatal pathway of transgenic (Tg) mice that...
