This cited study is basically gibberish.
A much, much better discussion of this issue can be found in Damier (2000) ....Development of dyskinesias induced by treatment for Parkinson's disease: potential role of first exposure to L-DOPA (or phenomenon of priming)
Also: "Effect of non-dopaminergic drug treatment on Levodopa induced dyskinesias in MPTP monkeys: common implication of striatal neuropeptides"
