Pallidal low frequency activity correlates with dystonic symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between pallidal 4–12 Hz activity and symptom severity as quantified by the Toronto…Faithful SGCE imprinting in iPSC-derived cortical neurons: An endogenous model system of myoclonus-dystonia
Objective: To test the potential of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons from Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) patients when studying specific epigenetic and brain-specific aspects of…Mental simulation of whole-body movements in patients with isolated cervical dystonia
Objective: To explore mental transformation of whole-body images in patients with isolated cervical dystonia (CD). Background: Mental transformation of bodies or of body-part images is…Finger tapping-related brain activation and impact of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: To assess brain activation during simple movements of the right hand in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) by means of fMRI. To test the…Verb naming in hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders: Preliminary results
Objective: To investigate verb naming differences in hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease, PD) and hyperkinetic (primary cervical dystonia, PCD) movement disorders; and to determine whether different effects…Neck proprioception is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether proprioceptive information generated from the neck is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a focal dystonia…Structural and functional brain network alterations in psychogenic dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the brain structural and functional MRI abnormalities in psychogenic dystonia patients (pDYT). Background: Psychogenic movement disorders…Single unit activity of globus pallidus during voluntary movements in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: To reveal the electrophysiological mechanism of voluntary movements with and without neck muscle exertion in patients with cervical dystonia. Background: Globus pallidus, as part…In-vivo free-water imaging and functional connectivity in a knock-in mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Objective: To examine in-vivo functional connectivity and free-water diffusion imaging in dystonic mutant Tor1a knock-in (DYT1) and wild-type (WT) control mice. We test the hypothesis…Functional characterization of the upstream start codon in the GCH1 gene
Objective: To examine (1) the -22C > T point mutation which introduces a premature start codon upstream of the normal open reading frame (ORF) of…
