Dopaminergic nigrostriatal denervation in Parkinson's disease (PD) disrupts the functional balance between striatal projecting neurons, leading to aberrant activity in the cortico-basal ganglia circuit and characteristic motor symptoms. While genetic and toxin-based animal models are commonly used to mimic PD pathology and behaviour, they have limitations when combined with circuit manipulation tools. This...
