Abstract
L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients commonly leads to dyskinesia, a hyperkinetic movement disorder that remains an unsolved clinical problem. The unravelling of key pathophysiological mechanisms in PD and dyskinesia has led to updated models of the basal ganglia motor circuit, capturing nonlinear neuronal information processing in a dynamical network architecture. Our understanding into the functional organization of the basal ganglia motor system is further supported by recent computational models that focus on neuronal activations within distinct closed feedback loops. Together, these models of the basal ganglia circuitry compose a more comprehensive and detailed insight into the diverse neuronal dysfunctions in the pathophysiology of PD and LID.
