Abstract
A new mutant rat strain with movement disorders has arisen spontaneously in a closed colony of Albino-Swiss rats at the Department of Anatomy, Glasgow University. The animals possess a progressive locomotor disorder which is first apparent at around post-natal day 10. We here report that tyrosine hydroxylase immunocytochemistry demonstrates that these mutants have profound depletions in dopaminergic systems in the substantia nigra and corresponding areas of neostriatum.Entities:
