A Role for Dopamine-Mediated Learning in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

Dopamine contributes to corticostriatal plasticity and motor learning. Dopamine denervation profoundly alters motor performance, as in Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, the extent to which these symptoms reflect impaired motor learning is unknown. Here, we demonstrate a D2 receptor blockade-induce...
