Dual-task in Parkinson’s disease: a gait analysis and functional MRI study
Objective: To study gait parameters and functional MRI (fMRI) patterns performing dual-task in Parkinson’s disease patients with postural instability and gait disorders phenotype (PD-PIGD) and…Genotype influences circuit compensation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study investigates differences in brain network organization in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with genetic risk factors relative to sporadic PD patients and…Sleep Disturbances in Essential Tremor: A pilot investigation of the related brain microstructural changes using diffusion tensor imaging
Objective: In this pilot exploratory study, we aimed to search possible related brain microstructural changes of sleep disturbances (SD) in essential tremor (ET) patients. Background:…Functional connectivity within the cerebellum and brainstem in essential tremor patients– a tailored resting state fMRI approach
Objective: To better understand the pathophysiology of essential tremor (ET) by analysing brainstem and cerebellar neuronal circuitry activity with tailored fMRI resting state methods. Background:…Ponto-cortical aberrations:Neural correlations for Hypomimia in PD
Objective: We team neuron, focused on analyzing progressive degeneration of neural structural connectivity of the tract from Brodmann area 4, part precentral gyrus to facial motor…Cortical cholinergic dysfunction correlates with microglial activation in the Substantia Innominata in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder
Objective: To explore possible correlations between levels of microglial activation (neuroinflammation) in the Substantia Innominata (SI), the major source of cholinergic input to the cortex,…Amyloid load and cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease: preliminary longitudinal findings
Objective: To test for any association between amyloid deposition and future cognition in Parkinson’s disease, in a sample enriched for mild cognitive impairment. Background: Progressive…Hemispheric Differences in Motor Circuitry of Parkinson’s disease: Metabolism and Micro-Structure
Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively characterize simultaneous PET/MR brain changes focusing on the hemispheric asymmetry to trace differences between the more…Neural correlates of visual cues for gait impairment in Parkinson’s disease: a preliminary analysis
Objective: To examine the neural correlates of walking with visual cues in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Gait impairment is central to PD with links to…Pre-frontal activation during walking in Parkinson’s disease: the impact of attention
Objective: This study aimed to; 1) examine pre-frontal cortex (PFC) activation during walking in response to increased attentional load (dual-task) in Parkinson’s disease (PD); and…
