| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the treatment environment for Parkinson's disease has made great progress, unfortunately it has not reached the fundamental treatment. As a result, the antiparkinsonian drug treatment period is prolonged. Involuntary movements called dyskinesias in long-term treatment reduce the patient's quality of life. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between dyskinesia and antiparkinsonian drugs, focusing on the flexibility of the brain called plasticity that is impaired in Parkinson's disease.

パーキンソン病では可塑性と呼ばれる脳の柔軟性に異常が見られることが知られている。そこで、抗パーキンソン病薬が可塑性とよばれる脳の柔軟性に与える影響を検討した。結果、抗パーキンソン病薬の種類により可塑性に与える影響が異なることが判明した。また、パーキンソン病におけるジスキネジアがこの可塑性の調節が困難なことによることが示唆された。結果、ジスキネジアのおきにくい治療計画の立案に必要な情報が得られた。
