Biography
Patricia Szot as a long-term member of the MIRECC research team at the VA Puget Sound Health care System has provided substantial information on the expression of receptors and transmitter-synthesizing enzymes in the human and rodent brain. This has included autopsy brain material from Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s or dementia patients. Due to the in situ hybridization and slice autoradiography technical expertise he has worked on the localized quantitation of some important regulatory proteins. These studies contribute to his understanding of the mechanisms of side effects and additional symptomatology observed, e.g., in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease- information which is of direct clinical relevance.
