How does preprocessing affect estimation of causal information transfer in the human brain?
Objective: To test the influence of common electrophysiological preprocessing on the estimation of transfer entropy. Background: Transfer entropy (TE) provides one possibility to study temporal…The efficacy of quantitative 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in diagnosis of aged patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aim to establish the normal reference with quantitative 99mTc-Trodat-1 (TRODAT) SPECT and verify the diagnostic performance in aged Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Relationship between freezing and pedunculopontine nucleus’ size in Parkinson’s disease: Semi quantitative analysis based on MRI with modified FGATIR sequence
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the possible relation between pedunculopontine nucleus' size (PPN) and occurrence of freezing in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Disrupted motor memory in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We sought to investigate the differences in motor adaptation and motor memory between people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy age-matched controls by using…Freezing of gait (FOG) in PD: Is electroencephalography (EEG) a gateway to elucidating the pathophysiology?
Objective: To assess EEG changes in PD patients during episodes of FOG. Background: FOG is a paroxysmal phenomenon, a brief episodic marked reduction in forward…Sensory and motor aspects of rhythmic entrainment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate entrainment of MEG-recorded brain oscillations induced by a rhythmic task structure in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD patients do not…Dopaminergic medication affects choice bias in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Assess dopaminergic effects on choice bias in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor are the core symptoms of PD, but many…Increased cortical control of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To determine structural connectivity between the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) in freezers compared to non-freezers. Background: Freezing of…Modulation of local field potentials during gait in the STN of patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: PD patients with implanted DBS electrodes allow for the investigation of basal ganglia activity during gait. Background: Whereas the overall spectral content of local…Functional connectome organization is altered in PD patients with mild cognitive impairment
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the functional brain connectome organization in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).…
