PET examination of the monoamine transporter with 11C-beta-CIT
Objective: To investigate the utility of 11C-β-CIT PET scan on Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Background: The monoamine reuptake sites transport dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin from the…Relation between the clinical features and the standardized heart to mediastinum ratio in cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A multicenter cross-sectional study
Objective: To investigate relation between the clinical features and the standardized heart to mediastinum (H/M) ratio by cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging in patients with Parkinson's…Excessive daytime sleepiness is mediated by loss of caudate dopaminergic function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is mediated by loss of dopaminergic function by using dopaminergic specific single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)…Density of metabotropic glutamate receptors subtype 1 in de novo patients with Parkinson’s disease using 11C-ITMM PET
Objective: To investigate the mapping of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1) in elderly normal and de novo patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using N-[4-[6-(isopropylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-4-11C…May substantia nigra volume asymmetry be an indicator of motor asymmetry in Parkinson’s disease? A retrospective analysis
Objective: We investigated whether smaller substantia nigra is associated with worse parkinsonism on the corresponding contralateral side. Background: Degeneration of dopaminergic cells and morphologic changes…Disruption of functional connectivity in Parkinson’s disease patients presenting phonemic fluency impairment
Objective: This study was designed to clarify the changes of detailed functional connectivity in association with phonemic fluency deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using…Resting-state functional connectivity of subthalamic nucleus in different phenotypes of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the different resting-state functional connectivity of subthalamic nucleus (STN) in different phenotypes of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The STN is one of…Pronounced beta oscillations are a characteristic of the cortico-basal ganglia loop of subacute and chronic animal models of Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To compare the power spectral densities of local field potentials recorded from the cortico-basal ganglia loop of a subacute (reserpine) and a chronic (6-OHDA)…Comparative analysis of clinical and neuroimaging features of parkinsonism and dementia of Alzheimer’s type
Objective: Explore the features of cognitive disorders and neuroimaging features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the comparative aspect. Methods: Study 64…Resting state functional connectivity in olfactory network in de novo Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the pattern of RS functional connectivity in PD patients, related to olfactory psychometric test, to elucidate olfactory-dependent cortical-subcortical functional networks. Background: Olfactory…
