Altered resting-state functional interhemispheric connectivity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine direct interhemispheric functional connectivity (FCi) in Parkinson's disease (PD) during resting-state fMRI and to investigate the relations between observed connectivity changes and…Neural substrates of excessive daytime sleepiness in early drug naïve Parkinson’s disease: A resting state functional MRI study
Objective: We aimed to improve our understanding of the neuropathology of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: EDS is a common non-motor…Research of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in the diagnosis of postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the sacculocervical reflex of patients with PD with the assessment of changes of the parameters of VEMP depending on the severity of…Levodopa induced dyskinesia and nicotinergic α4β2 acetylcholin receptor density: A multi-tracer imaging study
Objective: We investigated α4β2 acetylcholin receptor (nAChR) density in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and its correlation with dopaminergic…Diffusion tensor imaging in Parkinson’s disease: Review and meta-analysis with clinical considerations and neuroimaring parameters
Objective: (1) To synthesize brain white matter changes with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in Parkinson's disease (PD); and (2) to study correlations of these changes…Exploring structural covariance networks of gray matter in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether structural covariance networks (SCNs) can be used to detect disease-specific patterns of gray matter atrophy in Parkinson's disease (PD) and secondly,…Visual vs. automated analysis of [123I]FP-CIT SPECT scans in patients with parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate the differences between visual and automated analyses of brain dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT scans. Background: Clinical evaluation of DAT SPECT scans typically…Disrupted hubs in functional brain networks in subtype-specific Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To detect the changing pattern in functional network hubs in subtype-specific Parkinson's disease (PD) using resting-state functional magnetic resosonce imaging (Rs-fMRI). Background: PD is…Multimodal imaging assessment of nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinson’s disease using 11C-PE2I PET and neuromelanin-sensitive MR
Objective: To evaluate the nigrostratal pathway with multimodal assessment using striatal 11C-PE2I PET and nigral Neuromelanin-sensitive MR in Parkinson's disease. Background: The main pathological features…Comparison of DAT and DOPA PET tracer for assessing severity and progression in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aims of this study were to quantify striatal uptake of 18F-DOPA and 11C-PE2I in the same group of PD patients, to assess the…
