This protocol details standard operating procedure (SOP) for systemic administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in non-human primates.
Data consists of interspike intervals from basal ganglia neurons in awake monkeys, pre- and post-parkinsonian treatment with MPTP. Recordings were during spontaneous spiking, without task involvement.
