Evaluation of Neurotransmitter and Co-transmitter Expression in the Aging Human Locus Coeruleus: Relevance to Neurodegenerative Disorders.
Objective: To analyze the age-associated changes in the neurotransmitter/co-transmitter expression and morphometric profiles of human locus coeruleus (LC) neurons using autopsied human tissues. Background: LC…A Study of Age-related Changes in Galanin Expression in the Neuropil and Associated Boutons in the Human Locus Coeruleus.
Objective: To determine the age-effects on galanin (Gal)-enriched synaptic boutons and neuropil of human locus coeruleus (LC) using autopsied human tissues. Background: The LC has…Neural activity in pedunculopontine nucleus during sleep
Objective: Assess neural activity in various brain areas in sleep versus wakefulness in pediatric patients with movement disorders Background: Pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is believed to…PONTINE AND EXTRAPONTINE MYELINOLYSIS PRESENTING AS ACUTE PARKINSONISM
Objective: To report a patient with acute onset parkinsonism due to extrapontine myelinosis. Background: Osmotic demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system appear to be…PPN-GAB-PARK: Short time outcome and long term follow up in PPN-DBS
Objective: To report the short and long term outcome of bilateral PPN DBS. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of peducolopontin nucleus (PPN) has been proposed…An auditory biomarker for Parkinson’s Disease ?
Objective: In this preliminary study we aimed to investigate the nature of the differences in auditory function between patients with PD (N=25 with Hoehn and…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).…Probable REM sleep behaviour disorder and detrusor overactivity in primary cervical dystonia- A case report
Objective: To report two atypical associations of pRBD and DO we came across with a case of primary cervical dystonia. Background: RBD (REM sleep Behaviour…
