| T1 |
0-157 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
(G2019S) LRRK2 causes early-phase dysfunction of SNpc dopaminergic neurons and impairment of corticostriatal long-term depression in the PD transgenic mouse. |
| T2 |
158-330 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Twelve- to sixteen-month-old (G2019S) LRRK2 transgenic mice prepared by us displayed progressive neuronal death of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) dopaminergic cells. |
| T3 |
331-550 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
In the present study, we hypothesized that prior to a late-phase death of SNpc dopaminergic neurons, (G2019S) LRRK2 also causes an early-phase neuronal dysfunction of SNpc dopaminergic cells in the (G2019S) LRRK2 mouse. |
| T4 |
551-748 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Eight to nine-month-old (G2019S) LRRK2 transgenic mice exhibited the symptom of hypoactivity in the absence of the degeneration of SNpc dopaminergic neurons or nigrostriatal dopaminergic terminals. |
| T5 |
749-759 |
REPLACED |
denotes |
Whole-cell |
| T6 |
760-773 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
current-clamp |
| T7 |
774-960 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
recordings of SNpc dopaminergic cells in brain slices demonstrated a significant decrease in spontaneous firing frequency of SNpc dopaminergic neurons of 8-month-old (G2019S) LRRK2 mice. |
| T8 |
961-1171 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Carbon fiber electrode amperometry recording using striatal slices showed that (G2019S) LRRK2 transgenic mice at the age of 8 to 9months display an impaired evoked dopamine release in the dorsolateral striatum. |
| T9 |
1172-1367 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Normal nigrostriatal dopaminergic transmission is required for the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity expressed at corticostriatal glutamatergic synapses of striatal medium spiny neurons. |
| T10 |
1368-1378 |
REPLACED |
denotes |
Whole-cell |
| T11 |
1379-1392 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
voltage-clamp |
| T12 |
1393-1590 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
recordings showed that in contrast to medium spiny neurons of 8 to 9-month-old wild-type mice, high-frequency stimulation of corticostriatal afferents failed to induce long-term depression (LTD) of |
| T13 |
1591-1612 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |

DRI_Background |
denotes |
in medium spiny neurons of (G2019S) LRRK2 mice at the same age. |
| T15 |
1677-1967 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Our study provides the evidence that mutant (G2019S) LRRK2 causes early-phase dysfunctions of SNpc dopaminergic neurons, including a decrease in spontaneous firing rate and a reduction in evoked dopamine release, and impairment of corticostriatal LTD in the (G2019S) LRRK2 transgenic mouse. |
