Evaluation of the extent of the lesions in the PPTg and SNc

% lesion
PPTg SNc

Sham 0 ± 3 0 ± 20
PPTg unilateral 88 ± 6 (*) -
SNc unilateral - 50 ± 10 (*)
PPTg-SNc ipsilateral 63 ± 15 (*) 45 ± 10 (*)
PPTg-SNc contralateral 66 ± 14 (*) 66 ± 9 (*)

The effects of unilateral infusion of 24 nmoles ibotenic acid into the PPTg or 0.6 μmoles MPTP into the rat SNc on the extent of damage to the Neu-N positive neurons of the PPTg or to the TH-positive neurons of the SNc was estimated on a linear scale of 0% (no lesion) to 100% (complete lesion) expressed as the mean ± SEM.
