The interaction of nigrostriatal dopamine and corticostriatal glutamate plays a critical role in motor output. Recent studies in mutant dystonic hamsters (dt[sz]), an animal model of idiopathic generalized dystonia, revealed antidystonic effects of both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, such as dizocilpine (MK-801), and of neuroleptics, such as haloperidol and clozapine.
