Apathy in Parkinson’s disease is associated with abnormal alpha oscillatory behaviour during incentivized movement
Objective: To determine the relation between apathy and neural oscillations in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Apathy in PD, characterized by lack of motivation, is often…B lymphocytes may be protective in early Parkinson’s disease and in an animal model of dopaminergic cell death
Objective: To investigate B lymphocyte phenotype and function in human PD and in an animal model of disease. Background: The clinical course in Parkinson’s disease…Unveiling the function of altered gut microbiota composition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the gut microbiome and metabolome in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Recent evidence revealed that gut microbes promote alpha-synuclein pathology and motor deficits…Predictors of freezing of gait in newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease: Clinical, dopamine transporter imaging and CSF markers in the PPMI cohort
Objective: To examine whether clinical, dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers can be used to predict the later development of FOG individually…α-synuclein aggregation and propagation in marmoset brains deteriorates its motor function
Objective: To confirm that α-synuclein aggregation and propagation in marmoset brains deteriorates its motor function. Background: Recently, the α-synuclein amyloid fibril is thought to be…Pharmacological modulation of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase activity in the Thy1-aSYN mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study the pharmacological modulation of glucocerebrosidase activity in the Thy1-aSYN mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is a complex neurodegenerative disorder…Variable selection using machine-learning to identify new signatures of patient-derived aggregated α-synuclein-induced neurodegeneration in non-human primates
Objective: Emerging evidence strongly suggests that α-synuclein, a major protein component of LB, may be responsible for the spreading of the pathological process within affected…Experimental rotenone model
Objective: To evaluat rotene model of parkinsonian syndrome in rats. Background: Rotenone is of highly lipophilic substances that can freely enter hematoencephalic barrier through and…Distinct Blood Leukocytes Expression Profiles of Long Non-coding RNAs and mRNAs in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: The study aims to identify the significant altered long non-coding RNAs (LncRNA) mRNAs expression profiles of blood leukocytes from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, which…Nanoscale imaging reveals disorganization of the brain extracellular space in Lewy body-injected mice
Objective: To explore the brain extracellular space and its matrix at a nanometric scale in a context of α-synuclein-induced neurodegeneration. Background: The extracellular space (ECS)…
