Abstract
Neurotensin receptor autoradiography reveals dense binding in normal human substantia nigra. In nigra from patients with Parkinson's disease, nigral receptor binding is only about one-third of control values. 'Saturation' analysis suggests that these changes result from receptor loss. These results support a neurotensin-dopamine interaction in human nigro-striatal circuits.Entities:
