Alteration to Basal Ganglia Morphology in Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To characterize the subcortical grey matter adaptations related to Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Background: Owing to its connections with motor, cognitive…A cortical neural signature of motor interruption in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To investigate whether cortical oscillations involved in sensorimotor and perceptual processes [alpha (8-12 Hz), low beta (13-20 Hz) and high beta (21-35 Hz)] change…Mineralization pattern of the deep gray matter by susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate Parkinsonian disorders
Objective: To study mineralization pattern of the deep gray matter by susceptibility-weighted (SWI) magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonian disorders like…Tractographically defined subthalamic connectivity is associated with apathy in Parkinson’s disease and healthy subjects
Objective: We aimed to study the baseline white matter characteristics of tractographically defined subthalamic connectivity using Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Parkinson's Disease patients and healthy…Does the Basal Ganglia Dysfunction Affect Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson’s Disease?
Objective: We elucidated whether and how asymmetric basal ganglia dysfunction is associated with the generation of Pisa syndrome (PS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To assess…The difference in cerebellar blood flow reduction in multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if cerebral blood flow (CBF) reduction in the cerebellum could be a tool for differential diagnosis…Structural Abnormalities in the Cerebellar Peduncles of patients with Freezing of Gait: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study
Objective: We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate cerebellar structural connectivity by evaluating white matter properties along the superior (SCP), middle (MCP), and inferior…Evaluation of bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease using a computerised evolutionary algorithm
Objective: Application of a computerised algorithm to kinematic motor recordings to distinguish parkinsonian bradykinesia from normal movement. Background: Bradykinesia, the only obligatory physical sign for…L-Dopa Responsiveness is Correlated to Fluorodeoxyglucose Metabolism and Dopamine Transporter Availability in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We aim to explore if the degree of l-dopa responsiveness would be correlated to metabolism level in specific brain areas by using 18F-FDG and…Unilateral abnormal dopamine transporter (DaT) scans: Early indicator of Parkinson’s disease and degenerative Parkinsonism
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the relevance of unilateral abnormal dopamine transporter (DaT) scans in patients presenting with clinically uncertain Parkinsonian syndromes…
