Right substantia nigra
Rate this question:
Left substantia nigra
Left subthalamic nucleus
Right motor cortex
Right substantia nigra
Right subthalamic nucleus
Rate this question:
It is a muscarinic antagonist, it controls the tremor better than L-dopa
It is a dopamine receptor (D2) agonist, it allows reduction of t-dopa/carbidopa dosing
It blocks dopamine co-transporters thus increasing dopamine levels in the caudate/putamen
It is a Monoamine oxidase inhibitor, it increases dopamine levels in the caudate putamen
It is a COMT inhibitor, it maximizes the uptake of L-dopa into the brain
Rate this question:
Cocaine
CO (Carbon monoxide)
