Impaired D2 receptor-dependent dopaminergic transmission in prefrontal cortex of awake mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract
Anxiety is a major early-onset non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. By imaging brain circuits in an awake parkinsonian mouse model, Li, Xu et al. provide evidence that Parkinson’s disease-associated anxiety is caused by impaired postsynaptic D2 receptor-dependent dopaminergic transmission in prefrontal cortex.
