Graft-Induced Dyskinesias in Parkinson's Disease: High Striatal Serotonin/Dopamine Transporter Ratio

TL;DR: The data provide further evidence that serotonergic neurons mediate graft‐induced dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease and that achieving a normal striatal serotonin/dopamine transporter ratio following transplantation of fetal tissue or stem cells should be necessary.

Education and Family Background: Mechanisms and Policies

TL;DR: This paper summarized and evaluated recent empirical research on education and family background, focusing on two related but distinct motivations for this topic: equality of opportunity and the child development perspective, and the policy interest in this research is whether policies that change parents' resources and restrictions have causal effects on their children.

Age-related impairments in spatial memory are independent of those in sensorimotor skills

TL;DR: It is suggested that age-related declines in different functional anatomical systems, such as the limbic system and the basal ganglia may progress independently and not necessarily impaired in their motor performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic input and local output of dopaminergic neurons in grafts that functionally reinnervate the host neostriatum.

TL;DR: It is suggested that local circuit regulation of dopaminergic neurons within the graft may be responsible for the maintenance of a normal or close to normal functional activity in adult rats with a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesion of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway.

Generation of DOPA-producing astrocytes by retroviral transduction of the human tyrosine hydroxylase gene : In vitro characterization and in vivo effects in the rat Parkinson model

TL;DR: DOPA production in the transduced astrocytes was largely independent of exogenous cofactor, and DOPA release into the medium was not influenced by addition of either KCl or tetrodotoxin or by removal of Ca2+ from the culture medium, indicating that the newly synthesized DOPA was constitutively released from the cells.
