Impaired intracortical inhibition is associated with reduced hand dexterity in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To check whether hand dexterity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients is linked with motor cortex excitability and plasticity. Background: Hand dexterity is impaired in…Parkinson’s disease disrupts motor skill learning that requires improvement of a speed-accuracy trade-off
Objective: 1) To test whether PD reduces the ability to improve motor acuity (speed-accuracy trade-off performance) in goal-directed movements; 2) To examine the effect of…Dynamic stability during turning in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this study is to determine the contributions of dyskinesia to abnormal turning mechanisms. Background: The ability to turn safely while…Goal-Directed Movement in Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease and the effect of Parkin Mutations
Objective: To investigate goal-directed behavior in people with Parkinson’s disease (with and without Parkin mutations) and healthy controls using a computer based task. Background: In…CR6-interacting factor1 Deficiency in Dopamine Neurons Triggers Early-onset Parkinsonism in Mice
Objective: One candidate is CR6-interacting factor1 (CRIF1), which controls translation and membrane insertion of 13 mitochondrial proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Here we determined the…Prognostic relevance and predictive ability of data-driven PD subtypes in the Longitudinal and Biomarker Studies in Parkinson’s disease (LABS-PD)
Objective: To assess the prognostic relevance and predictive ability of a PD subtype classification system generated in LABS-PD cohort. Background: PD subtype classification systems have…Association of CSF biomarkers with motor and non-motor features in moderately advanced Parkinson’s disease cohort: the BioFIND study
Objective: Evaluate associations between CSF biomarkers of neurodegeneration and clinical phenotype in Parkinson’s disease (PD) participants of the BioFIND cohort. Background: Levels of CSF α-synuclein…Catecholamines’ concentration ratio in plasma of early diagnosed treatment-naive patients with Parkinson disease
Objective: To investigate the concentration of some catecholamines (dopamine, DOPA and DOPAC) in the blood plasma and their ratio to each other depending on sex, form and…Inhibition of mitochondrial complex I synthesis by chloramphenicol mitigates dopaminergic neuronal cell loss in PQ-induced parkinsonism
Objective: To find the potent drug for prevention of PD, we screened with above 1000 drugs in the PQ treated cells which currently used drug…Alpha-synucleinopathy and mitochondrial dysfunction in a cell based model of neurodegeneration: Implications in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To elucidate the role of α-synuclein, parkin and mitochondria in a cell-based model of neurodegeneration relevant to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Background: The suggested mechanisms…
