Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the effects of neural stem cells transplantation on the behavioral deficits of Parkinson's disease mice.MethodsSpontaneous movement,Morris Water Maze and Rotarod were adopted to evaluate the behavioral changes.ResultsCompared with the control,the time of spontaneous movement was decreased,the latency of Water Maze was lengthened,and the time of Rotarod was shortened in the Parkinson's disease(PD) mice. These deficits were improved 2,4 and 8 weeks after unilateral and bilateral transplantation of neural stem cells.ConclusionsThe transplantation of neural stem cells can improve the behavioral deficits in the PD mice.
