How reliable is the behavioural evaluation of dyskinesia in animal models of Parkinson's disease?

abstract：:The non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801) (0.08 and 0.12 mg/kg, i.p.) was used to examine whether spatial memory is learned state-dependently. Rats pre-treated with drug or saline were trained for 9 days in an eight-arm radial maze, in which four arms were baited. On the ...
