Does the Basal Ganglia Dysfunction Affect Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson’s Disease?
Objective: We elucidated whether and how asymmetric basal ganglia dysfunction is associated with the generation of Pisa syndrome (PS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To assess…The difference in cerebellar blood flow reduction in multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if cerebral blood flow (CBF) reduction in the cerebellum could be a tool for differential diagnosis…Structural Abnormalities in the Cerebellar Peduncles of patients with Freezing of Gait: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study
Objective: We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate cerebellar structural connectivity by evaluating white matter properties along the superior (SCP), middle (MCP), and inferior…Evaluation of bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease using a computerised evolutionary algorithm
Objective: Application of a computerised algorithm to kinematic motor recordings to distinguish parkinsonian bradykinesia from normal movement. Background: Bradykinesia, the only obligatory physical sign for…L-Dopa Responsiveness is Correlated to Fluorodeoxyglucose Metabolism and Dopamine Transporter Availability in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We aim to explore if the degree of l-dopa responsiveness would be correlated to metabolism level in specific brain areas by using 18F-FDG and…Unilateral abnormal dopamine transporter (DaT) scans: Early indicator of Parkinson’s disease and degenerative Parkinsonism
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the relevance of unilateral abnormal dopamine transporter (DaT) scans in patients presenting with clinically uncertain Parkinsonian syndromes…Amyloid PET and cognition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cerebral amyloid accumulation and cognition in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: The neuropathology underlying the development of dementia in Parkinson’s…Patterns of rhythmic single unit activity of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The study of rhythmic neuronal activity is of great interest as they may have implications for pathophysiological mechanisms of PD. The aim of this…Multi-echo GRE and DTI MR imaging of the Substantia Nigra in early Parkinson’s disease: A pilot 1-year prospective controlled study
Objective: To assess the sensitivity of multi-echo GRE and DTI MR imaging to changes in Substantia Nigra (SN) in early Parkinson’s disease (PD) Background: In…Subthalamic theta oscillations in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Identifying the effect of dopamine on subthalamic theta oscillations in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Understanding the underlying electrophysiological alterations in PD is essential for…
