However, the mechanism in which Parkinsonism is induced is not well known. In this study, the mechanism of D2R inhibition model of Parkinsonism was proposed via neuromorphological findings observed in primary motor cortex and dorsal striatum. Sixteen female Wistar rats with average weight of 150 g were distributed into 4 groups (NS and -D2I, -D2II, -D2III). Parkinsonism was induced using 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of haloperidol for 21 days. Parkinsonism was accessed with the rotarod and parallel bar. Primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsal striatum (CPu) were processed and stained using haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Nissl stains. The density of Nissl bodies was examined with ImageJ software version 1.46. Data was analysed by one way analysis of variance and significant level was set at p ≤ 0.05. The results showed that prolong inhibition of D2R induces Parkinsonism by progressive deterioration o...
