New evidence for thalamic dysfunction in Parkinsonian rats
Objective: Abnormal oscillatory activity within the cortico-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamo-cortical circuit has been observed in Parkinsonian state, especially of β and γ bands (βB and γB).…Improvement Observed in Children with combined GPi and VL Thalamus Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Secondary Dystonia
Objective: To present 5 children with Gpi and VL thalamus Deep-Brain Stimulation for treatment of secondary dystonia. Background: The target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in…Non-motor symptom burden is associated with thalamic atrophy in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether non-motor symptoms burden is associated with cortical and subcortical morphological changes in PD patients. Background: Non-motor symptoms are common aspects of…Transient loss of psychic self-activation following bilateral thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus stimulation for essential tremor
Objective: To report a case. Background: Loss of psychic self-activation or even akinetic mutism has rarely been described in patients who suffered bilateral thalamic insults.…Successful deep brain stimulation treatment of incapacitating tremor resulting from bilateral thalamic infarcts complicating surgery for Arnold Chiari malformation/syringomyelia.
Objective: To describe the clinical features of tremor associated with thalamic infarcts and its treatment with thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Background: Delayed onset involuntary…Novel Programming Strategy to Overcome Loss of Efficacy in Essential Tremor
Objective: A review of programming strategies to maintain tremor suppression adequate for functional satisfaction. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is FDA approved for Essential tremor since…Astasia, reach and grasp deficits following bilateral medio-dorsal pulvinar lesions
Objective: Analysis of the consequences of bilateral dorso-medial pulvinar lesions Background: Expansion of the dorsal pulvinar in humans and its anatomical connectivity suggests its involvement…Movement disorders in patients with Japanese encephalitis: Experience in a tertiary care hospital in north eastern region of India
Objective: Movement disorders in Japanese encephalitis is known, but under reported. In this study we tried to analyse the spectrum of movement disorders in patients…Effect of intra-striatal 6-OHDA lesion on extra-striatal structures in the mouse
Objective: Characterization of extra-striatal manifestations in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) Parkinson's disease (PD) animal model. Background: PD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of…Modulation of thalamocortical network dynamics via deep brain stimulation in humans with Tourette syndrome
Objective: To (1) investigate the impact on thalamocortical network dynamics in response to low frequency and high frequency deep brain stimulation and (2) uncover the…
