COMMENT We feel that it is due to the formation of 5,6-DHT in the eortex. These cells are indeed innervated by serotonin cells and, as a matter of fact, we have an experiment that is being published in Brain Research where we show that if we injeet 5,6-DHT into the ventricles, we ean produce exactly the same type of degeneration in the pyramidal cells, due to the formation of the 5,6 from the 5-hydroxytryptamine. We are exploring the possibility of it being another catecholamine in addition to dopamine, so I think both of those may be helpful in answering your question.
