“…Overall the findings from this study provide the first human evidence for the role of striatal serotonergic ternimals in LIDs pathophysiology and support the development of selective 5-HT 1A agonists for use as antidyskinetic agents in PD. Serotonin terminals are also involved in graft-induced dyskinesias (GIDs), which are involuntary movements when "off" dopaminergic drugs occurring after transplantation of fVM tissue (Kefalopoulou et al, 2014;Politis, Loane, et al, 2011;Politis, Oertel, et al, 2011;Politis, Wu, Loane, Kiferle, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Quinn, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Turkheimer, et al, 2010 PET studies have shown that three PD patients who received striatal transplantation with fVM tissue and exhibited GIDs had excessive graft-derived serotonergic innervation and high serotonin-to-dopamine terminal ratio (Politis, Loane, et al, 2011;Politis, Oertel, et al, 2011;Politis, Wu, Loane, Kiferle, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Quinn, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Turkheimer, et al, 2010). Administration of small, repeated doses of buspirone, was able to attenuate GIDs possibly by attenuating the abnormal serotonin terminal-derived dopamine release (Loane & Politis, 2012;Politis, 2010Politis, , 2011Politis, Loane, et al, 2011;Politis, Oertel, et al, 2011;Politis, Wu, Loane, Kiferle, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Quinn, et al, 2010;Politis, Wu, Loane, Turkheimer, et al, 2010).…”
