This work analyzes the vector dose and exposure time required to induce neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and motor impairment in this preclinical model of Parkinson's disease. These vectors encoding the human α-synuclein are delivered into the substantia nigra to recapitulate the synuclein pathology associated with Parkinson's disease.
