The role of striatal dopaminergic terminals in early de novo PD patients with speech impairment
Objective: To assess the role of striatal dopaminergic terminals in early de novo (untreated) Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with impairment of speech. Background: Dopamine has…Functional deficits during response inhibition improve after dopaminergic medication for Parkinson
Objective: To study the neural correlates of impulse control in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients before and after the start of dopamine replacement therapy (follow up…Diffusion tensor imaging of corticospinal tract, cingulum and corpus callosum in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients
Objective: To evaluate white matter tractography of the corticospinal tract, cingulum and corpus callosum in PD. Background: Considering the variability of symptoms of Parkinson's disease…Movement related beta oscillatory activity during self-paced wrist movement in the human subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To explore voluntary movement related neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: How the human basal ganglia processes…Pallidal DBS and pallidotomy alter cortical synchronization in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate electrophysiologic characteristics of sensorimotor cortical activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing globus pallidus deep brain stimulation (GPi DBS) or radiofrequency…Recruitment of single subthalamic neurons for kinematic control of hand and feet movements employs different strategies
Objective: To understand single unit recruitment strategies for upper and lower extremity movements in the human subthalamic nucleus (STN), which is the main target for…Effectiveness of Levodopa responsiveness of Blink reflex recovery: An objective method to differentiate Parkinsonian syndromes
Objective: We attempted to find an objective tool by assessing the variability of levodopa induced change in the blink reflex recovery to differentiate Parkinsonian syndromes.…Increasing placebo response in Parkinson’s disease through apomorphine pre-conditioning
Objective: To see whether a placebo response requires pharmacological pre-conditioning with apomorphine. Background: Placebos have been found to affect the patient's brain in a number…Diffusion tensor imaging of the corticospinal tract differentiates Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients from controls
Objective: To asses white matter tractography of the corticospinal tract in PD patients. Background: Since the diagnosis of PD is still based on clinical assessment,…Diagnostic reliability of clinical symptoms in patients with incomplete manifestation of the triad of parkinsonism compared to 18F-DOPA PET-CT MRI imaging
Objective: To describe the diagnostic reliability of the triad of clinical symptoms compared to the uptake of 18 F-DOPA PET-CT fusion MRI scan. To compare…
