Much recent discussion about the origin of Parkinsonian symptoms has centered around the idea that they arise with the increase of beta frequency waves in the EEG. This activity may be closely related to an oscillation between subthalamic nucleus (STN)

The objective of this study was to test a drug delivery system that combines iontophoresis and cation-exchange fibers as drug matrices for the controlled transdermal delivery of antiparkinsonian drug apomorphine. Positively charged apomorphine was bound to the ion-exchange groups of
The present study examined the role of dopamine and D(1)-and D(2)-like dopamine receptors in ventrolateral orbital cortex (VLO)-evoked anti-hypersensitivity in a rat model of neuropathic pain, as well as the possible underlying mechanisms. Results showed that microinjection of apomorphine [(R(-)-apomorphine

Dopamine D receptors (DRs) have two affinity states for endogenous dopamine, referred to as high-affinity state (D ), which has a high affinity for endogenous dopamine, and low-affinity state (D ). The density of D can be measured with (R)-2-CHO-N-n-propylnorapomorphine
Autologous neural stem cells (NSCs) may offer a promising source for deriving dopaminergic (DA) cells for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: By using Sendai virus, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were reprogrammed to induced NSCs (iNSCs), which were
