Although Rolling mouse Nagoya (RMN) has been considered to demonstrate cerebellar dysfunction, our previous metabolic and electrophysiological studies also revealed a dysfunction of the basal ganglia, with the presumable primary site of dysfunction being the striatum. In the present study, we investigated the neurochemical functions of the striatum. In RMN, both preproenkephalin mRNA and preprotachykinin mRNA increased significantly in the striatum, with unaltered GAD mRNA, [(3)H]spiperone binding, [(3)H]QNB binding and preprosomatostatin mRNA, thus indicating the dysfunction of striatal projection neurons. These findings support the hypothesis that the site of primary dysfunction in the basal ganglia is in the striatum of RMN.
