Abstract
Motor fluctuations and dyskinesia are common complications of long-term levodopa therapy.
The neural and molecular mechanisms underlying their development are partially understood.
A variety of clinical strategies may reduce the unpredictability of motor fluctuations
and reduce their impact. Prevention of these complications remains an elusive goal.
