Abstract: Five primate models for Parkinsonizm, which was established by 1-methyl-4-pheny-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP) injecting through unilateral internal carotid after 6 weeks, were scanned by MR imaging. MRI demonstrated that the area of the substantia nigra decreased and there was foci of increased signal intensity in homolateral on T2-weighted images. Histological examination showed a loss of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons and pervasive gliosis in the ventral midbrain area on the injection side by Grino staining. The results manifested that MRI can be a modality to evaluating the primate modal of Parkinsonnism after MPTP exposure.
