Abstract
⺠A novel bilateral rat model of Parkinson's disease resulted in loss of approximately 80% striatal DA. ⺠Chronic L-DOPA-induced time-dependent imbalances in DA/5-HT levels in extrastriatal brain areas. ⺠Prior exposure to L-DOPA did not damage DA and 5-HT neurons. ⺠Anxiogenic effects of chronic L-DOPA were observed in bilateral-lesioned rats during the OFF phase.
