Non-motor symptom burden is associated with thalamic atrophy in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether non-motor symptoms burden is associated with cortical and subcortical morphological changes in PD patients. Background: Non-motor symptoms are common aspects of…Exercise alters response of reward anticipation in the ventral striatum of subjects with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the effects of exercise on reward circuitry in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: The benefits of exercise in PD have been linked to…Central pain processing in “drug-naïve” pain-free patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether central pain processing is altered in “drug-naive” pain-free Parkinson disease (dnPD) patients. Background: Despite its clinical relevance, the pathophysiology of pain…Gait asymmetry in people with Parkinson’s disease is linked to reduced integrity of callosal sensorimotor regions
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between gait asymmetry and the integrity of the corpus callosum connecting sensorimotor cortical regions in people with idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease…Globus Pallidus and Pedunculopontine Nucleus Oscillations during Executed and Imagined Gait in Patient with Parkinson’s Disease and Freezing of Gait Symptoms.
Objective: To explore neurophysiological markers of intentional executed and imagined movement in both Globus Pallidus Internus (Gpi) and Pedunculopontine Nucleus (PPN) in patients with Parkinson’s…Increased hippocampal activation in Parkinson’s disease related amnestic mild cognitive impairment
Objective: To assess the functional significance of hippocampal network dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease related amnestic mild cognitive impairment (PD aMCI) using high-resolution functional neuroimaging. Background:…Assessment of substantia nigra degeneration with magnetic resonance and transcranial ultrasonography
Objective: Our objective was to assess both exploration techniques in patients with initial IPD and verify the concordance of the findings, thus positioning them as…Volume analysis and localization of midbrain hyperechogenecities via TCS and MRI
Objective: We are presenting follow-up results on our previous study for 3D volumetric measurements of SN hyper-echogenicities, to differentiate PD patients from healthy controls (HC).…Correlation analysis between dopamine release in striatal sub-regions and motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease subjects
Objective: To investigate correlations between the sub-regional dopamine release (DR) in the striatum of Parkinson’s disease (PD) subjects and sub-components of motor performance evaluated according…Patterns of Striatal DAT Binding Loss in a Progressing Parkinson Disease (PD) Cohort: Four year PPMI Follow-up
Objective: To evaluate within subject striatal changes in dopamine transporter (DAT) binding using 123-I Ioflupane SPECT in PD participants studied over four years in the…
