Deficits in sensorimotor networks in functional movement disorders: A graph-theory based network analysis
Objective: To investigate the organization of functional neural networks in patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD). Background: Although several task-based neuroimaging studies have pointed…PET imaging of tau pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether there is an increase in [18F]-AV-1451 uptake in the brains of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients compared to…Severe striatal and pallidal atrophy in early disease stages of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate cortical and subcortical atrophy patterns in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: XDP is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe adult-onset dystonia followed by…99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT findings in a patient with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Objective: To report a case of sporadic CJD presenting insomnia,vertigo, ataxia and parkinsonism as first symptoms and describes the 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT findings. Background: CJD is…Evaluation of the surface based measures to discriminate progressive supranuclear palsy from corticobasal syndrome
Objective: To evaluate structural gray matter (GM) changes tested by surface-based measures of cortical thickness (CTh), surface area (SA) and volume (VOL), in order to…Effects of age and gender on brainstem MR-planimetry
Objective: To evaluate age- and gender effects on brainstem MR-planimetric measures. (1,2). Background: Brainstem planimetry has been successfully applied to differentiate Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)…Dorsolateral nigral hyperintensity on 3.0 tesla susceptibility-weighted imaging in idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder
Objective: To assess the loss of dorsolateral nigral hypersensitivity (DNH), which seems to correspond to nigrosome-1, using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) at 3.0 Tesla (T) in…Frontal lobe white matter atrophy correlates with disability in spastic paraplegia type 11 (SPG11)
Objective: To evaluate in vivo signs of gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) abnormalities, through an unbiased neuroimaging method, in a large cohort of…Hemifacial spasm: Objective computation of vertebrobasilar vascular sinuosity
Objective: To objectively compute the degree of vascular sinuosity in the vertebrobasilar arteries in hemifacial spasm (HFS) and control subjects using a case-control MRI/A approach.…In vivo evaluation of tau pathologies in patient with progressive supranuclear palsy and healthy subjects with [11C]PBB3-PET
Objective: This study was aimed at evaluating pathological tau accumulations in the brains of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and young and old healthy…
