Brain mechanisms underlying visual processing in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We used fMRI and a visual cognitive task to study brain mechanisms underlying visual processing at different cognitive loads in patients with PD and…Cerebellar GABA-A receptor activity is inversely correlated with gait speed in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between regional cerebral expression of benzodiazepine receptors and gait speed in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Flumazenil is a short-acting intravenously…Combined effects of visual and auditory cues on gait initiation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the combined effects of visual and auditory cues on gait initiation and to investigate the correlation between the clinical rates of gait…Comparison of DAT scan, cardiac MIBG scintigraphy, and cerebrospinal fluid 5HIAA levels in Parkinsonian syndrome
Objective: To assess the associations of presynaptic dopamine transporter (DAT scan), cardiac 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5HIAA)…Influence of lateral wedges on postural control in patient with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lateral wedge to balance in Parkinson's disease. Background: Although postural instability is the…Impact of white matter hyperintensity on motor compensation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the potential impact of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on motor compensation in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: WMHs, the loss of vascular integrity,…Dopaminergic and metabolic network activities in onset-related subtypes of Parkinson’s disease: A dual-tracer positron emission tomography study
Objective: The current study investigated the differences of dopaminergic and metabolic patterns between the young-onset subtype of Parkinson's disease (YOPD) and the late-onset subtype (LOPD)…Is the defective gait automaticity associated to deficiencies in implicit learning in patients with Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To investigate the relation between implicit learning capacity and gait automaticity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Automaticity is the ability to perform…Cortical thinning associated with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Aim of the study was to investigate patterns of cortical thinning associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in PD and to explore relationships with…Inferring the coupling of motor related brain areas during paced finger tapping in Parkinson’s patients
Objective: To analyze the coupling and causal interplay of motor related brain areas in Parkinson's patients during the performance of externally and internally paced finger…
