Behavioral Deficits and Striatal DA Signaling in LRRK2 p.G2019S Transgenic Rats: A Multimodal Investigation Including PET Neuroimaging
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A major risk-factor for developing Parkinson's disease (PD) is genetic variability in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), most notably the p.G2019S mutation. Examination of the effects of this mutation is necessary to determine the etiology of PD and to guide therapeutic development. OBJECTIVE: Assess the behavioral consequences of LRRK2 p.G2019S overexpression in transgenic rats as they age and...
