Insecticide-Mediated Neurochemical and Behavioral Changes as Possible Predisposing Environmental Factors in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Insecticide-Mediated Neurochemical and Behavioral Changes as Possible Predisposing Environmental Factors in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Epidemiological studies implicate pesticide exposure as a possible etiologic factor in idiopathic Parkinson's Disease, which results from degeneration of nigrostriatal neurons, along with reduced levels of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Behavioral and neurochemical analyses in C57BL6 mice were...
