Serotonin Neurons—Culprits in Graft-Related Parkinson Dyskinesia

RESEARCH NEWS 2010-07-02 Research News During the late 1980s and the 1990s, tissue grafts, chosen to replace lost dopaminergic neurons, seemed to show great promise for the treatment of Parkinson disease (PD). Yet the results were mixed: Some patients experienced dramatic improve
