Department of Neurosurgery,
MHH Parkinson`s disease – from bench to bedside Categories:
CA Description: (18 hours) Day 1 On the first day we will give an
overview about the pathophysiology and symptoms of Parkinson`s Disease
(PD), animal models for this condition, and therapeutic approaches. In
particular, the following topics will be addressed: -
clinical pathophysiolgy and symptoms of PD and pharmacological treatment
of this condition (Prof. Petri) -
basal ganglia function and animal models of PD (Prof. Schwabe) -
novel experimental approaches (stem-cell transplantation) for the
treatment of PD (Prof. Grothe) -
neurosurgical approaches (ablative methods, deep brain stimulation) for
the treatment of PD (Prof. Krauss) Day 2 On the next day students will
be divided in groups of 3-4 participants and trained in one specific
method of the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) PD model of the rat. In the
afternoon each group will present their experience and data to the other
groups. In particular the following aspects will be addressed: -
stereotactic injection of 6-OHDA into the nigrostriatal system of the
anaesthetized rat (Prof. Schwabe) -
immunohistological evaluation of the 6-OHDA lesion (Prof. Schwabe) -
behavioral and pharmacological evaluation of the 6-OHDA induced lesion
(Prof. Grothe) -
Preparation, differentiation and evaluation of transfected stem cells
(Prof. Grothe) Day 3 - Live Surgery: a limited

turbidity). In our seminar students present and discuss (together with us)
recent literature on echolocation in bats and dolphins/ wales and on
electrolocation in weakly electric fish. (12 hours credit) Date:
