Three-dimensional cytoarchitecture of the basal ganglia: Clinical applications of a computational pipeline for histology to MRI registration
Objective: Use modified histological techniques and a computational registration pipeline to delineate accurately post-operative 3D basal ganglia anatomy in DBS implants. Background: Stereotaxy is based…Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…In utero delivery of scAAV9 mediates widespread brain transduction in rats and monkeys: Towards new models of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Our objective was to create transgenic mammals using systemic delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV2/9). Background: The adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV2/9) crosses…Severe striatal and pallidal atrophy in early disease stages of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate cortical and subcortical atrophy patterns in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: XDP is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe adult-onset dystonia followed by…Exercise-induced adaptive neuroplasticity in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To increase our understanding of how physical exercise may drive adaptive neuroplasticity in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is a…Mutant WDR45 links NBIA to impaired autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress
Objective: To examine the impact of mutant WDR45 on autophagy,mitochondrial function,and oxidative stress capacity in patient's fibroblasts. Background: Mutations in the WD repeat domain 45…Iron accumulation in a Wilson disease patient: Longitudinal 7T MRI and transcranial sonography study
Objective: To investigate longitudinal changes in clinical symptoms, 7T MRI and transcranial sonography (TCS) during chelating treatment in a Wilson disease (WD) patient. Background: Pathophysiological…Vascular degeneration in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the role vascular degeneration in human Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: We have previously reported endothelial degeneration in the PD. Current study examined…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…Clinical aspects of postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify the clinical features of postural instability by PD patients. Background: Postural instability (PI) to maintain body balance while walking. The causes of…
