Research Abstract |
Altered neural activity of the globus pallidus (GP) due to dysregulation of striatal dopamine functions has been proposed as a major cause of dystonia genesis. Based on the clinico-physiological data obtained from the patients with dystonia, we found that abnormal patterned activities of the posteroventral portion of the GPi have a tight link with occurrence o f dystonia symptoms. In addition, our data on the experimental animal models that include tran sgenic mice showed that striatal striosome-matrix dopamine systems could be involved in the dystonia genesis.
