Figure 6

Effect of intraventricular vehicle, ALLO [2 μM], and bicuculline [4.9 μM] + ALLO on turning behavior induced by apomorphine at eight weeks after 6-OHDA lesion. Results are expressed as turns/hour; (two-way ANOVA). ALLO: allopregnanolone, Bic: bicuculline, HP group: hemiparkinsonian group, and P4-treated HP group: progesterone-treated hemiparkinsonian group.
