Our research aims at developing new symptomatic and disease-modifying treatments for disorders of basal ganglia origin, particularly Parkinson´s Disease (PD). To facilitate this research, we have pioneered the development of rodent models having both face and construct validity relative to dyskinetic and akinetic movement disorders in humans. These models have now become the first-line tool for behavioural-pharmacological research on PD worldwide. We are now in the process of developing new rodent models of cognitive deficits and impulse control disorders relevant to PD. In addition to developing-improving rodent models for translational research, we investigate maladaptive neuroplasticity associated with movement disorders, and we do so at multiple levels and with multiple methodologies (e.g., signaling-pathway activation, synaptic neuronal plasticity, gliovascular plasticity and neurovascular coupling).
