Abstract:In Parkinson’s disease (PD), pathomechanisms such as aberrant network dysfunctions can be elucidated by conducting multiscale explorations in animal models. However, the lack of specificity in the existing models limits a restricted targeting of individual network elements and characterization of PD as a “circuitopathy”. We therefore developed a cell-type specific viral vector (AAV2/9-CreON-A53T-αSyn) mouse model that allows to induce synucleinopathy within individual circuit elementsin vivo. When specifically… Show more
