Transfection of the BDNF Gene in the Surviving Dopamine Neurons in Conjunction with Continuous Administration of Pramipexole Restores Normal Motor Behavior in a Bilateral Rat Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Figure 7
Colocalization of TH+/BDNF-flag in dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area. Representative micrographs (a, b). Immunohistochemistry was performed 36 weeks after the lesion and two and a half months after the end of treatment. The histograms (c) show the percentage of BDNF-flag expression in TH (+) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area. n = 7.
