Popis: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative movement disorder caused by loss of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons. DA replacement therapy using L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) improves motor function but often results in l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) typified by abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). In states of DA depletion, striatal serotonin (5-HT) hyperinnervation and glutamate overactivity are implicated in LID. To target these co-mechanisms, this study investigated the potential anti-dyskinetic effects of FDA-approved Vilazodone (VZD), a 5-HT transport blocker and partial 5-HT
