14. Agrees to defer any neurological surgery, including deep brain stimulation, until the 12-month study visit is completed.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Atypical or secondary parkinsonism, including but not limited to symptoms resulting from trauma, brain tumor, infection, cerebrovascular disease, other neurological disease, or to drugs, chemicals, or toxins, as determined by the Investigator.
2. Presence of clinically significant cognitive impairment as defined by a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of less than 241 at screening and/or clinical diagnosis of dementia by Investigator based on MoCA diagnostic criteria.
3. Presence or history of psychosis, except for minor psychosis.
4. Presence of severe depression, as indicated by a BDI-II score >28 within 5 years of screening evaluation.
5. Active suicidal ideation as indicated by positive response to items 4 or 5 on the screening C-SSRS, or any history of a suicide attempt
6. Presence of impulse control disorder, defined as a total score ≥10 on the Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS).
7. History of substance use disorder within 2 years of screening evaluation, as determined from interview with the participant and/or review of medical records.
8. Brain imaging abnormalities in the striatum or other regions that would substantially increase risk of surgery in the opinion of the investigator.
9. Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or gadolinium (e.g., ProHance [gadoteridol]).
10. Coagulopathy or inability to temporarily stop any anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy for at least 2 weeks during the perioperative period.
11. Prior stereotactic brain surgery including lesioning procedures, deep brain stimulation, infusion therapies or any other prior brain surgery that could complicate the study procedure and/or negatively impact study evaluations as determined from participant interview, screening MRI, and/or review of medical records.
12. Prior gene transfer, as determined from participant interview or review of medical records.
13. History of stroke, poorly controlled or significant cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or any other acute or chronic medical condition that would unreasonably increase the risks of the study procedures, as determined from interview with the participant and/or review of medical records.
14. History of malignancy other than treated carcinoma in situ within 3 years of screening evaluation.
15. Clinically apparent or laboratory-detected infection (including acute or chronic scalp infection) at the time of screening or baseline evaluations or immediately prior to surgery that would be a contraindication to surgery.
16. Prior or current treatment with any investigational agent within 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is shorter).
17. Any factors, medical or social, which would likely cause the inability to comply with the procedures of the protocol, including completion of Parkinson's Disease (PD) diaries, frequent and prolonged study visits (including off medication visits) and travel, in the judgment of the Investigator.
18. Chronic immunosuppressive therapy, including chronic steroids, immunotherapy, cytotoxic therapy, and chemotherapy as determined by participant interview and/or medical record.
19. Any serious medical condition or abnormal finding on physical examination or laboratory investigation that would substantially increase the risks of the study procedures in the opinion of the investigator.
