  • The research team repeated the cycle of not giving alcohol to the experimental monkeys for 4 weeks, then giving them another 4 weeks, and as a result, dopamine secretion increased in monkeys that received gene therapy and alcohol intake decreased by more than 90% compared to the control group.

  • Changes of D1 and D2 dopamine receptor mRNA in the brains of monkeys lesioned with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine: correction with chronic administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. (aspetjournals.org)
  • The foetus develops microcephaly, that is, an abnormally small brain, which usually leads to mental retardation and premature death. (lu.se)
  • A decrease of D1 receptor mRNAs was observed in the olfactory tubercule (-22%) in MPTP-lesioned monkeys compared with control animals but no change was seen in the nucleus accumbens. (aspetjournals.org)
  • Half the monkeys received a graft made from their own induced pluripotent stem cells (called an autologous transplant). (wisc.edu)
  • Half received cells from other monkeys (an allogenic transplant). (wisc.edu)
  • Within six months, the monkeys that got grafts of their own cells were making significant improvements. (wisc.edu)
