Survivable stereotaxic surgery in rodents.
The ability to measure extracellular basal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain of awake animals allows for the determination of effects of different systemic challenges (pharmacological or physiological) to the CNS. For example, one can directly measure how the animal's midbrain dopamine projections respond to dopamine-releasing drugs like d-amphetamine or natural stimuli like food. In thi...

However, the differences among involuntary movements seem to be phenomenological. These abnormal movements may be combined or changed into other involuntary movements. Lesions identified by CT or MRI give some clues as to ...
متن کاملStereotaxic device for experimental eye surgery.
A sterotaxic device for experimental surgery in enucleated eyes is described. This instrument is made entirely of plastic, is inexpensive to make, and has proved to be an invaluable help in teaching microsurgical procedures to ophthalmic residents.
متن کاملSensorimotor organization of a sustained involuntary movement
Involuntary movements share much of the motor control circuitry used for voluntary movement, yet the two can be easily distinguished. The Kohnstamm phenomenon (where a sustained, hard push produces subsequent involuntary arm raising) is a useful experimental model for exploring differences between voluntary and involuntary movement. Both central and peripheral accounts have been proposed, but l...
متن کاملTreatment of involuntary movement disorders with tetrabenazine.
Seventeen patients with choreiform, athetoid, or ballistic involuntary movements, or with spasmodic torticollis, were treated with tetrabenazine in doses of 25 to 200 mg daily for periods varying from two weeks to more than six months. Randomized ciné film of the patients' involuntary movements, taken before, during, and after treatment was assessed individually by seven `blind' observers. Eigh...
