Evaluating quantitative EEG (QEEG) measures to differentiate between Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and healthy individuals
Objective: To evaluate QEEG measures for classification of Parkinson's disease(PD) patients and healthy individuals, and eventually develop a pre-clinical composite biomarker to identify patients with…The position of the conus medullaris and the prevalence of isolated lipoma of filum terminale in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the positions of the conus medullaris in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD). To know the prevalence of isolated lipoma of filum terminale(LFT) in…Novel PET Tracers of alpha-synuclein for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of our project is to develop small molecular weight compounds (Morphomers™) which bind selectively to alpha-synuclein (aSyn) aggregates, in order to generate…Magnetic resonance imaging of nigrosome-1 in the diagnosis of early Parkinson’s: Initial results of the Parkinson’s magnetic imaging repository (PaMIR)
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of T2* weighted high resolution 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a prospective…How does preprocessing affect estimation of causal information transfer in the human brain?
Objective: To test the influence of common electrophysiological preprocessing on the estimation of transfer entropy. Background: Transfer entropy (TE) provides one possibility to study temporal…The efficacy of quantitative 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in diagnosis of aged patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aim to establish the normal reference with quantitative 99mTc-Trodat-1 (TRODAT) SPECT and verify the diagnostic performance in aged Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Relationship between freezing and pedunculopontine nucleus’ size in Parkinson’s disease: Semi quantitative analysis based on MRI with modified FGATIR sequence
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the possible relation between pedunculopontine nucleus' size (PPN) and occurrence of freezing in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Disrupted motor memory in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We sought to investigate the differences in motor adaptation and motor memory between people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy age-matched controls by using…Freezing of gait (FOG) in PD: Is electroencephalography (EEG) a gateway to elucidating the pathophysiology?
Objective: To assess EEG changes in PD patients during episodes of FOG. Background: FOG is a paroxysmal phenomenon, a brief episodic marked reduction in forward…Sensory and motor aspects of rhythmic entrainment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate entrainment of MEG-recorded brain oscillations induced by a rhythmic task structure in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD patients do not…
