Abstract
⺠MPTP produced decreases in striatal DA which partially recovered 18 months later. ⺠By contrast, striatal 5-HT was increased 18 months after MPTP treatment. ⺠In the cortex, decreases in NE were transient but those in 5-HT were long-lasting. ⺠Only striatal DA and NE exhibited age-related vulnerability to MPTP. ⺠5-HT neurons lack the plasticity exhibited by DA neurons to MPTP toxicity.
