The SND patients showed mean 12%, 21% and 31% declines in the ratios of radioactivity in the caudate, anterior putamen, and posterior putamen compared with that in the occipital cortex. These ratios were not significantly altered in the PD patients. The results may explain the different therapeutic responses to levadopa between SND and PD patients, and this technique might prove useful for their differentiation.}, pages = {467--472}, title = {Dopamine D1 receptors in Parkinson's disease and striatonigral degeneration: a positron emission tomography study}, volume = {56}, year = {1993} }
