Cardiac 123I-MIBG Scintigraphy, olfactory testing and transcranial sonography for differentiating between Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonian syndromes during the early stage
Objective: To evaluate the utility of the combined use of cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, olfactory testing, and substantia nigra (SN) hyperechogenicity on transcranial sonography (TCS)…Differences in cerebral perfusion between Major depression disorder and depression with Parkinson’s disease : Brain HMPAO SPECT study using SPM analysis
Objective: We performed SPECT in Major depressive (MD) disorder and PD patients with (PDMD) and without depression (PDNMD). The aim of this work was to…Interactions between amyloid-β and microglial activation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between microglial activation and amyloid-β deposition in the brain using positron emission tomography (PET) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with normal…Anxiety influences the neural correlates associated with freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate whether Anxious Freezers have altered brain activity during FOG episodes compared to Non-Anxious Freezers. Background: A growing amount of research has emphasized…[18F]-AV-1451 binding to neuromelanin in the substantia nigra in PD and PSP
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the binding of [18F]-AV-1451 to neuromelanin in parkinsonisms. Uptake in the substantia nigra of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and…Abnormal spontaneous activity and functional connectivity in patients with Parkinson’s disease with anxiety
Objective: To identify the contributions of abnormal brain spontaneous activity and functional connectivity in anxiety in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) using resting-state functional magnetic…Understanding neural activation in semantic fluency in Parkinson’s disease with mild cognitive impairment
Objective: To identify neural mechanisms relating to semantic fluency deficits in PD-MCI and to establish possible neuroimaging markers for Parkinson’s disease (PD) with dementia. Background:…Resting state modulations of EEG low frequency bands in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: Dynamics in EEG activity such as slowing in low-frequency bands has been reported in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The objective of the present study was…Functional Connectivity Differences Across Parkinson Disease Subtypes
Objective: The goals of this project were to 1) identify putative Parkinson disease (PD) clinical subtypes and 2) investigate resting-state functional connectivity differences between these…Evolution in Dopamine Transporter (DaT) Scan Utilization Patterns and its Effect on Treatment Decisions: Results of the Next 200 Scans
Objective: To describe further changes in DaT scan utilization and its influence on management following our initial experience. Background: We previously reported our DaT scan…
