Determination of the Unilaterally Damaged Region May Depend on the Asymmetry of Carotid Blood Flow Velocity in Hemiparkinsonian Monkey: A Pilot Study by Jincheol Seo, Kyung Seob Lim, Chang-Yeop Jeon, SeungHo Baek, Hyeon-Gu Yeo, Won Seok Choi, Sung-Hyun Park, Kang Jin Jeong, Jinyoung Won, Keonwoo Kim, Junghyung Park, Jiyeon Cho, Jung Bae Seong, Minji Kim, Yu Gyeong Kim, Jae-Won Huh, Samhwan Kim, Yong Hoon Lim, Hyung Woo Park, Hye Min Tak, Man Seong Heo, Ji-Woong Choi, Sun Ha Paek, Youngjeon Lee

“…To investigate whether MPTP-induced unilaterally damaged regions were determined by asymmetrical cerebral blood flow, the differential asymmetric damage of striatal subregions, and examined structural asymmetries in a circle of Willis, and blood flow velocity of the common carotid artery were observed in three monkeys that were infused with MPTP through the left internal carotid artery. Lower flow velocity in the ipsilateral common carotid artery and a higher ratio of ipsilateral middle cerebral artery diameter to anterior cerebral artery diameter resulted in unilateral damage. …”
