Parkinsonism in a case of Gerstmann Sträussler Scheinker disease
Objective: Describe an atypical presentation of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) with predominant parkinsonism due to the PRNP P102L mutation, emphasizing intrafamilial variability and diagnostic challenges in…Progressive Ataxia in a Young Patient: Atypical Presentation of a Probable Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Variant VV1
Objective: To report an unusual presentation of probable Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) subtype VV1 in a 27-year-old man. Background: CJD is a rare prion neurodegenerative disorder…Neuropsychiatric symptoms in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Objective: The objective of our study was to assess prospectively the neuropsychiatric features in sCJD (and their impact on caregivers) and compare them with five…Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease presenting as dystonia
Objective: Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) is a type of human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that is determined genetically. Background: Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) is a type of human…Gait ataxia and Autonomic dysfunction as early signs of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: A Case Report

Objective: We describe a late-onset presentation of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) with a novel mutation in the prion protein (PRNP) gene. We compare this case to…Predicting Longitudinal Atrophy in Parkinson’s Disease using SIR model
Objective: To predict longitudinal brain changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) using an agent-based model. Background: Considerable evidence suggests that α-synuclein(α-syn) behaves in a prion-like fashion,…
