Inter-hemispheric asymmetry of nigrostriatal dopaminergic lesion: a possible compensatory mechanism in Parkinson’s disease
The onset of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by focal motor features in one body part, which are usually correlated with greater dopaminergic depletion in the contralateral posterior putamen. The role of dopamine (DA) hemispheric differences in the onset and progression of motor symptoms of PD, however, remains undefined. Previous studies have demonstrated that unilateral manipulation...
متن کاملInter-hemispheric asymmetry of echoic memory traces with multiple lifetimes
Earlier studies [1,2] suggested exponentially decaying memory trace with significantly higher lifetimes for the association cortex than the primary cortex, and little or no inter-hemispheric differences. In these studies only the peak MEG signal (where signal to noise ratio is largest) or peak strength of the equivalent current dipole was used to model the decay of the echoic memory and quantif...
متن کاملStriatal responses to partial dopaminergic lesion: evidence for compensatory sprouting.
Dopaminergic lesions result in the acute loss of striatal dopamine content, the loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive fibers, upregulation of preproenkephalin mRNA expression, and compensatory changes in the synthesis and metabolism of dopamine. Despite the severe loss of fine tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive fibers, larger fibers persist. We found that some tyrosine hydroxylase fiber ...
متن کاملPlasticity of synapses in the rat neostriatum after unilateral lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway.
In the 6-hydroxydopamine model of Parkinson's disease in the rat, there is a significant reduction in the number of dendritic spines on the principal projection neurons in the neostriatum, presumably attributable to loss of the nigrostriatal dopamine input. These spines invariably receive input from terminals forming asymmetric synapses that originate mainly from the cortex. The object of the p...
متن کاملLesion of the subthalamic nucleus reverses motor deficits but not death of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in a rat 6-hydroxydopamine-lesion model of Parkinson's disease.
The objective of the present study was to determine whether lesion of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) promoted by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) would rescue nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons after unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Initially, 16 mg 6-OHDA (6-OHDA group) or vehicle (artificial cerebrospinal fluid - aCSF; Sham group) was infused i...
