Abstract

The treatment of Parkinson's disease with grafts of fetal ventral mesencephalic tissue has shown some success, but can result in graft-induced dyskinesias (GIDs). Recently in Science Translational Medicine, Politis et al. (2010) demonstrate that GIDs may originate from serotoninergic neurons that are cografted in these transplants.
