Visual hallucinations and autonomic burden are inversely associated with physical activity in PD
Objective: To determine the neuropsychiatric and non-motor correlates of reduced physical activity in PD. Background: The motor symptoms of PD interfere with patients’ ability to…The subthalamic stimulation inhibit bladder contraction by modulating local field potential and monoamine in the medial prefrontal cortex
Objective: We aimed to clarify the changes in neuronal activity (local field potential and levels of monoamine) of mPFC induced by STN-DBS with relation to…Objective intestinal dysfunction in REM sleep behaviour disorder
Objective: To study objectively measured intestinal function, defined by intestinal volume, transit times, and colonic motility patterns in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder…Freezing of gait recognition in Parkinson’s disease: A subject independent objective method
Objective: In this study, we aim to build an automated-FoG-detector for subject-independent. After extracting enormously relevant features, we apply variance detection-techniques to identify-FoG-events. Background: Gait…Examination of paravertebral muscular force in camptocormia
Objective: To measure the force of paravertebral muscle of PD patients with camptocormia compared to PD patients without camptocormia and healthy controls to assess the…No association between Parkinson disease and autoantibodies against NMDA-type glutamate receptors
Objective: We measured NMDA antibodies in a large, well phenotyped sample of Parkinson patients without and with cognitive impairment (n = 297) and controls (n…Salivary Alpha-Synuclein and tau in Parkinson’s Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: The aim of this study is to measure alpha-synuclein (a-syn) total, a-syn oligomers (a-syn olig) and total tau protein concentration in the saliva of…Alteration of the fecal microbiota in Chinese patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Emerging evidences suggest that gut microbiota dysbiosis plays a role in Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the alterations in fecal microbiome in Chinese PD patients…Validation of protein phosphatases that regulate the LRRK2 phosphorylation cycle
Objective: To identify and validate candidate phosphatases regulating the LRRK2 phosphorylation cycle. Background: Mutations in the gene encoding leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are one…New evidence for thalamic dysfunction in Parkinsonian rats
Objective: Abnormal oscillatory activity within the cortico-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamo-cortical circuit has been observed in Parkinsonian state, especially of β and γ bands (βB and γB).…
