M. Herreramarschitz et al., NEUROCIRCUITRY OF THE BASAL GANGLIA STUDIED BY MONITORING NEUROTRANSMITTER RELEASE - EFFECTS OF INTRACEREBRAL AND PERINATAL ASPHYCTIC LESIONS, Molecular neurobiology, 9(1-3), 1994, pp. 171-182
The neurocircuitries of the basal ganglia are studied with in vivo mic
rodialysis, with special consideration to dopamine transmission and it
s interaction with other neurotransmitter systems. The aim is to devel
op experimental models to study the pathophysiology and therapy of neu
rodegenerative disorders of the basal ganglia, as well as to develop m
odels to study the short- and long-term consequences of perinatal asph
yctic lesions. A main goal of these studies is to find and to characte
rize new treatments for these disorders.
