Simplified illustration of a potential pathogenic mechanism in Sydenham chorea. Antineuronal antibody (IgG) may bind to receptors on neuronal cells and trigger the signaling cascade of CaMKII, tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine release which may potentially lead to excess dopamine and the manifestations of Sydenham chorea. Source: Similar but slightly different from figure in [34].
