  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common disorders that affect the nigrostriatal system in humans. Loss of neurons in the substantia nigra and severe depletion of dopamine (DA) in the corpus striatum are the hallmarks of this condition. The most effective treatment of Parkinson's disease, particularly early in its course, is the administration of both the L-isomer of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), and dopamine-receptor agonists. However, it is now clear that L-DOPA and the receptor agonists are only limited ameliorative treatments and that the course of mostpatients is one of inexorably progressive disability regardless of therapy. On the other hand, an alternative approach in the therapeutic management of Parkinson's disease is the neurosurgical implantation of either DA neurons or adrenal chromaffin cells that have the ability of releasing DA.
