Figure 2. AIM scores on day 20 of the 21 day dyskinetic induction protocol.

Figure 2

The bar graph shows the total AIMs score (closed bars) and the AIMs minus locomotion scores (hatched bars) for 11 rats (A-K) on day 20 of the 21 day dyskinetic induction protocol. Rats received daily doses of L-dopa and benserazide at 8 mg/kg each. AIM scores were determined using the scoring protocol described by Dekundy and co-workers (2007). Scores are plotted in the increasing order of the total AIMs score for each animal. The mean and S.E.M. values for the total AIMs score are 41.2 ± 6.8 and for the AIMs minus the locomotor component 32.5 ± 7.0, which is 16.5% and 21.5% variability, respectively.
