Effect of STN-DBS on apomorphine-induced rotational behavior and immobility induced by 6-OHDA. a In vivo experimental design. b Nissl staining analysis to confirm electrode implantation in the STN. Representation of 6-OHDA-induced PD model in saline, 6-OHDA, and 6-OHDA + electrode OFF groups. ce Immunohistochemistry for TH in the striatum showing 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic degeneration in the SN. Images are representative of four independent experiments. f Apomorphine-induced rotational behavior was evaluated in order to confirm the dopaminergic deficit. Values represent the mean + SEM (n = 4–8). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001 vs. control saline group. g In vivo evaluation of immobility test following STN–DBS. Values represent the mean + SEM (n = 8 per group). ***p < 0.0001 vs. control saline group and $$$p < 0.0001 vs. 6-OHDA group. h Comparison between the immobility test performance before and after STN–DBS (immobility in the bar vs. before HFS in seconds) (n = 8 per group)
