Researchers at the Karolinska Institute recently released a video outlining their findings regarding the root causes of Parkinson's.
Highlights
- •
- Striatal sensory responses were studied by whole-cell recordings and optogenetics
- •
- Dopamine (DA) depletion affects intrinsic and sensory properties in direct pathway neurons
- •
- The encoding of bilateral tactile stimuli is impaired following DA depletion
- •
- Administration of L-DOPA can correct sensory deficits caused by DA depletion.

- This study came to my attention the researchers used our Enkaphalin Antibody as a marker for the Dopaminergic Neurons.
