l‐DOPA‐induced dyskinesia (LID) is considered a major complication in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Buspirone (5‐HT1A partial agonist) have shown promising results in the treatment of PD and LID, however no 5‐HT‐based treatment has been approved in PD. The present study was aimed to investigate how the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) is affected by buspirone and whether it is a good target to study 5‐HT antidyskinetic treatments.
