Fluency boost from walking in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Examine the impact of a motor task on verbal fluency in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) Background: Dual-tasking, in which individuals engage simultaneously in…Catechol-o-methyltransferase Val158Met polymorphism influences prefrontal executive function in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism has been proposed to be associated with increased risk of PD and have a specific impact on dopamine-mediated prefrontal…Temporal working memory deficit in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether temporal working memory (TWM) could be impacted in Parkinson's disease (PD). We also tested whether idiopathic PD patients (iPD) could be…Impairment of decision-making processes in patients with Parkinson’s disease during a strategic game
Objective: To characterize differences in choice patterns, and differentiate the effects of dopaminergic (DA) treatment on motor and cognitive function, during dynamic decision-making in Parkinson's…Detrusor overactivity is associated with frontal dysfunction in patients with Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To present the prefrontal cortex activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and evaluated the association between prefrontal cortex and lower urinary tract dysfunction…Fundamental differences in Parkinsonian rat limbic regions contribute to anxious behavior and diminished responsiveness to diazepam
Objective: To (1) examine whether anxiety-like behavior is more prevalent in Parkinsonian compared to non-Parkinsonian rats, (2) evaluate the efficacy of diazepam in Parkinsonian and…The effect of an eight-week mindfulness training intervention on emotion related brain activation in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of an eight-week mindfulness training intervention on emotion related brain activation in people…Optogenetic silencing of locus coeruleus activity in mice impairs cognitive flexibility in an attentional set-shifting task
Objective: In this study we used unilateral optogenetic silencing of the LC in an attentional set-shifting task (ASST) to evaluate the influence of the LC…
