In this work we have developed a behavioural paradigm in a Hemi-PD rat model coupled with immuno-histological staining and MRI methods, to evaluate anatomical and physiological data. This Hemi-PD model in the rat should be useful to investigate difficulties raising in PD patients during the shifting from a mental set to another.
