Factors affecting the extent of dopamine cell loss and behavioral sparing after partial unilateral lesions of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway : the role of basic fibroblast growth factor

In this thesis, the hypothesis that endogenous expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), a neurotrophic and neuroprotective factor produced by astrocytes and shown to mediate behavioral sensitization to amphetamine, plays a role in behavioral recovery after 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) les...
