It was further found that electroacupuncture inhibited the overtransmission of cortical striatal glutamatergic synapses, reduced striatal glutamate levels, reversed abnormal synaptic plasticity (e.g., dendritic spine density, vGluT1+ terminal density), and effectively suppressed abnormal cortical striatal synchronized high-beta (25–40 Hz) oscillations, which can be used as a pathological biomarker of PD [87]. Here, SLC17A7 is linked to Parkinson disease.
