May substantia nigra volume asymmetry be an indicator of motor asymmetry in Parkinson’s disease? A retrospective analysis
Objective: We investigated whether smaller substantia nigra is associated with worse parkinsonism on the corresponding contralateral side. Background: Degeneration of dopaminergic cells and morphologic changes…Disruption of functional connectivity in Parkinson’s disease patients presenting phonemic fluency impairment
Objective: This study was designed to clarify the changes of detailed functional connectivity in association with phonemic fluency deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using…Resting-state functional connectivity of subthalamic nucleus in different phenotypes of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the different resting-state functional connectivity of subthalamic nucleus (STN) in different phenotypes of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The STN is one of…Pronounced beta oscillations are a characteristic of the cortico-basal ganglia loop of subacute and chronic animal models of Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To compare the power spectral densities of local field potentials recorded from the cortico-basal ganglia loop of a subacute (reserpine) and a chronic (6-OHDA)…Comparative analysis of clinical and neuroimaging features of parkinsonism and dementia of Alzheimer’s type
Objective: Explore the features of cognitive disorders and neuroimaging features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the comparative aspect. Methods: Study 64…Resting state functional connectivity in olfactory network in de novo Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the pattern of RS functional connectivity in PD patients, related to olfactory psychometric test, to elucidate olfactory-dependent cortical-subcortical functional networks. Background: Olfactory…A cognitive fMRI study of non-manifesting LRRK2 and GBA carriers
Objective: To assess the cognitive profile of non-manifesting carriers of GBA and LRRK2 mutations using two fMRI tasks: a Stroop interference and N-Back working memory…The association between structural brain connectivity with plasma APO-A1 levels in Parkinson’s disease: Connectometry approach
Objective: Features of the lipid profile specially cholesterol levels are association with PD risk. However no such data exists on the association of these plasma…Cortical atrophy in cognitively impaired Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To explore whether cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients is associated with cortical thinning. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) affects 1% of those over…The role of cathepsin L involved in the activation of microglia and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the role of lysosomal protease cathepsin L in the activation of microglia and the injury of dopaminergic neurons, and further to interpret…
