Abstract

PathophysiologyThe establishment of a model of parkinsonism through the administration of MPTP to nonhuman primates has provided important insights into new therapeutic strategies. A typical parkinsonian syndrome develops in the animals that is characterized by dopaminergic-cell loss in the substantia nigra and striking abnormalities in the spontaneous activity and sensorimotor responses of neurons in the basal ganglia.94,95 A fundamental discovery has been that the dopamine-deficiency state is associated with increased activity of the inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)–employing (GABAergic) output nuclei in the basal ganglia, the internal segment of the globus pallidus, and the pars reticulata of the substantia . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
