Tau gene transfer, but not alpha-synuclein, induces both progressive dopamine neuron degeneration and rotational behavior in the rat
Using a viral vector for mutant (P301L) tau, we studied the effects of gene transfer to the rat substantia nigra in terms of structural and functional properties of dopaminergic neurons. The mutant tau vector caused progressive loss of pars compacta dopaminergic neurons over time, reduced striatal d...
