Stead S, Doering LC (2004) A novel mouse model for Parkinson’s disease using an immunotoxin directed at the dopamine transporter. Neuroscience 2004 Abstracts 563.1. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Current laboratory models of Parkinson’s disease utilize neurotoxins directed at midbrain dopamine neurons to mimic nigro-striatal dopaminergic neuron degeneration. To date, however, there is
