Dopamine depletion in the striatum gives rise to the cardinal motor symptoms of PD. Current PD medications are based on replenishing striatal dopamine and provide symptomatic relief to the motor deficits. However, troublesome adverse effects and diminished efficacy complicate their long-term use. There is a great unmet medical n...
