A cognitive fMRI study of non-manifesting LRRK2 and GBA carriers
Objective: To assess the cognitive profile of non-manifesting carriers of GBA and LRRK2 mutations using two fMRI tasks: a Stroop interference and N-Back working memory…A functional magnetic imaging study of the response in the superior colliculus to looming stimuli in cervical dystonia patients and their relatives
Objective: To demonstrate the functional magnetic resonance imaging response to looming stimuli in the superior colliculus of cervical dystonia patients and their relatives with and…Functional connectivity underpinnings of fatigue in “drug-naïve” patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Using resting-state functional MRI, we investigated the functional correlates of fatigue in a cohort of “drug-naïve”patients with PD. Background: Fatigue is a common problem…Botulinum toxin A injections changes sensorimotor network activations in cervical dystonia to state more related to physiological condition
Objective: To evaluate botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) effectiveness on network in sensorimotor circuits. Background: Involvement of many cerebellar structures, such basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, premotor…Motor subtypes in Parkinson’s disease are distinguished by alterations in morphology and white matter integrity
Objective: This study aimed to extend current knowledge on symptomatic heterogeneity in Parkinson's disease (PD) by investigating structural alterations underpinning FC. Background: The postural instability…Altered inter-hemispheric functional coordination in primary blepharospasm
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the inter-hemispheric functional connectivity of the whole brain in patients with BSP during resting state. Background: Abnormalities in…Neural mechanisms underlying step initiation failure in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying gait initiation failure in Parkinson's disease patients with Freezing of Gait. Background: Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a…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…Altered resting-state functional interhemispheric connectivity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine direct interhemispheric functional connectivity (FCi) in Parkinson's disease (PD) during resting-state fMRI and to investigate the relations between observed connectivity changes and…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…
