abstract = {Ziel/Aim:The unilateral 6-OHDA rat model of Parkinson's
disease (PD) is often used to study pathomechanisms and
therapeutic effects such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). We
established an implantable DBS system to analyse DBS and/or
L-DOPA effects on motor behaviour and on cerebral metabolic
patterns.Methodik/Methods:Long Evans rats were unilaterally
lesioned with 6-OHDA and either received L-DOPA, STN DBS, or
a combination of both. [18F]FDG PET scans (uptake normalised
to global mean) were used to analyse focal brain activity
with (ON) and without (OFF) therapeutic interventions. Motor
performance was investigated using the cylinder
test.Ergebnisse/Results:Comparing ON and OFF states, L-DOPA
and DBS led to different metabolic patterns. DBS increased
[18F]FDG uptake mainly ipsilesionally while decreasing it
contralesionally, reversing the metabolic imbalance between
hemispheres. L-DOPA decreased [18F]FDG uptake bilaterally in
the forebrain and increased it in the cerebellum. The latter
may indicate increased recruitment of the cerebellum, but
may also be explained by cerebral blood flow increases. A
combination of DBS and L-DOPA decreased [18F]FDG uptake in
the ipsilesional motor cortex and contralesional striatum
and increased it in somatosensory cortices, contralesional
thalamus and cerebellum. L-DOPA significantly improved
contralesional front paw (CF) use, which was impaired during
OFF. DBS only caused a slight improvement. A combination of
L-DOPA and DBS showed similar results as L-DOPA alone but
with higher total values. Continuous DBS for five weeks
stabilised and increased the beneficial effects of
DBS.Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusions:We conclude that pure
reversion of pathologic metabolic imbalances does not seem
to be sufficient to improve motor deficits. Rather, the
complex recruitment of alternative networks depending on
treatment strategy is likely to compensate pathology.},
