Loss of dopamine neurons is central to the manifestation of Parkinson’s disease motor symptoms. The dopamine precursor L-DOPA, the most commonly used therapeutic agent for Parkinson’s disease, can restore normal movement yet cause side-effects such as dyskinesias upon prolonged administration. Dopamine D1 and D2 receptors activate G-protein- and arrestin-dependent signaling pathways that regulate various
