Lateralization of dopaminergic neurotransmission in striata from different hemispheres occurs in patients, but also in healthy individuals. Our data show that the affinity of dopamine binding to dopamine D-1 receptors is significantly higher in left than in right striatum. Analysis of data from radioligand binding to striatal samples from na < ve, 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned, levodopa-treated and levodopa-induced dyskinetic rats shows differential receptor structure and gives hints on the causes of right/left lateralization of dopamine binding to striatal D-1 receptors. Moreover, binding data showed loss of lateralization in levodopa (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinetic rats.10 p.application/pdfeng(c) Humana Press., 2016Ganglis basalsProteïnes GBasal gangliaG Proteinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6684692026-01-23info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
