Comparison of rating scales used to evaluate l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in the 6-OHDA lesioned rat
Abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) rating scales are frequently used to study the mechanisms underlying l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in 6-OHDA lesioned rodents and the propensity of novel treatments for Parkinson's disease to induce or alleviate similar abnormal behaviours. Despite the exis...

Abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) rating scales are frequently used to study the mechanisms underlying l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in 6-OHDA lesioned rodents and the propensity of novel treatments for Parkinson's disease to induce or alleviate similar abnormal behaviours. Despite the existence of at least one well validated method, other AIM scales are also in use. Moreover, there have been developments and variations in the original scales and their methods of use, without re-validation. In this study, 6-OHDA medial forebrain bundle lesioned Sprague–Dawley rats were treated with chronic l-DOPA 6 mg/kg/day for 5 weeks followed by 12 mg/kg/day for another 5 weeks.
