Induction of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesias in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease

Source: Caulfield, M. E., et al. Induction and Assessment of Levodopa-induced Dyskinesias in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease. J. Vis. Exp. (2021). This video demonstrates the process of inducing levodopa-induced dyskinesias in a Parkinson's rat model by administering levodopa alongside a dopamine conversion inhibitor. Repeated injections overstimulate the brain neurons, resulting in motor dysfunction.
