Superscript symbols (❖, ■, ○, * and †) are used to denote rodents from the same line. Neurodegeneration is defined here as loss of TH+ cells. Up or down arrows are used to indicate an observed increase or decrease, respectively, in motor activity. (+) = phenotype reversed by administration of L-DOPA. NR = not reported.
