The indirect basal ganglia pathway in dopamine D2 receptor-deficient mice
Recent pathophysiological models of basal ganglia function in Parkinson's disease predict that specific neurochemical changes in the indirect pathway would follow the lack of stimulation of D2 dopamine receptors. Post mortem studies of the basal ganglia in genetically modified mice lacking func...

Recent pathophysiological models of basal ganglia function in Parkinson's disease predict that specific neurochemical changes in the indirect pathway would follow the lack of stimulation of D2 dopamine receptors. Post mortem studies of the basal ganglia in genetically modified mice lacking functional copies of the D2 dopamine receptor gene allowed us to test these predictions. When compared with their congenic N5 wild-type siblings, mice lacking D2 receptors show an increased expression of enkephalin messenger RNA in the striatum, and an increased activity and expression of cytochrome oxidase I in the subthalamic nucleus, as expected. In addition, D2 receptor-deficient mice display a reduced expression of glutamate decarboxylase-67 messenger RNA in the globus pallidus, as the basal ganglia model predicts.
