Note, on the lesioned side (left), the loss of dopaminergic cells in the SNc (A) and the loss of dopaminergic terminals in the striatum (B). Note also the correct implantation of the stimulation electrode within the STN (C, D, E). C, The arrow indicates the electrode track. E, The asterisk indicates the point of stimulation.
