Expression of glutamate receptors in the human and rat basal ganglia: Effect of the dopaminergic denervation on AMPA receptor gene expression in the striatopallidal complex in parkinson's disease and rat with 6‐OHDA lesion

The overactivity of subthalamopallidal and corticostriatal glutamatergic neurons observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) suggests that antagonists of glutamate receptor could be used to alleviate the motor symptoms of the disease. In this study, we analysed two features of the striatopallidal complex: (1) the distribution of α‐amino‐3 hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxasol‐propionate (AMPA) and kainate receptors and their corresponding mRNA by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation and (2) the effect of dopaminergic denervation on AMPA receptor gene expression in PD patients and rats with 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA)‐induced degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system.
