Spiny Projection Neuron Dynamics in Toxin and Transgenic Models of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder that results from the progressive degeneration of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopamine (DA) neurons. As a consequence of SNc degeneration, the striatum undergoes DA depletion causing the emergence of motor sympt...
