Substantia nigra α4β2 nicotinic cholinergic receptor expression correlates with tremor in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between tremor and α4β2 nicotinic cholinergic receptor (nAChR) expression in brain regions associated with tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD), including…Eye movement abnormalities in essential tremor and other neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, spino-cerebellar ataxia, Huntington disease)
Objective: To evaluate eye movement abnormalities in ET patients in comparison with matched according to age and gender controls and patients with other neurodegenerative disease…The scale for assessment and rating of ataxia in early onset ataxia; always a reliable biomarker?
Objective: To determine the reliability and discriminant validity of the Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) in early onset ataxia. Background: Early onset…Olfaction analysis in spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 and type 3 comparing with healthy controls and PD
Objective: To Analyse olfaction in spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 and type 3. Background: The main clinical manifestations of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) result from the involvement…Esophageal involvement in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To determine the prevalence of esophageal involvement and its impact on clinical manifestations in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Secondary motor disorders…Deep brain stimulation of the dentate nucleus improves ataxia and modulates cortical excitability
Objective: To assess tremor and ataxia changes by dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation and evaluate how DBS could modulate cortical excitability seen in cerebellar stroke.…Evaluation of parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter loss in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Objective: To study whether spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) patients have parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) loss compared to gender- and age-matched healthy controls.…Modelling spinocerebellar ataxia 15 with iPS cell derived neurons
Objective: Here we set out to study the cellular pathology of ITPR1-deletions underlying SCA15 in a human model of iPSC-derived cortical neurons. Background: Spinocerebellar Ataxia…Sub-acute rapidly progressive cerebellar ataxia – A case of JC virus associated granule cell neuronopathy (GCN)
Objective: To describe a case of JC virus associated GCN. Background: JC virus associated CNS disease most commonly presents as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. A less…Impaired eye voice coordination in spinocerebellar degeneration while reading aloud
Objective: In order to elucidate the cause of the impaired reading performance. Background: Deficit in reading performance in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) has been…
