Experimental design. Six weeks after lentiviral vector delivery, the animals were lesioned with an intrastriatal 6-OHDA lesion protocol. Behavior assessment was performed 7, 14, and 19 weeks after lesion. The animals were euthanized 19 weeks after lesion. One subgroup of LV-GDNF-F-DD animals was used to test if GDNF could rescue SNpc cells and motor behavior from a degenerating dopaminergic system (Rescue). Another subgroup of LV-GDNF-F-DD animals was used to test if GDNF could regenerate SNpc cells and motor behavior after the nigrostriatal system has degenerated (Regeneration). One subgroup of LV-GDNF-F-DD animals was not given any TMP (OFF) and used as control for DD leakiness. The LV-YFP-DD animals, and Rescue and Regeneration animals were given TMP continuously 1 week before 6-OHDA lesion and used as lesion control
