Objective: The primary endpoint of this study was to evaluate the effect of a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocol with anodal stimulation of the…Yerba mate tea (Ilex paraguariensis) exerts a neuroprotective effect on intrastriatal 6-OHDA-lesioned mice model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We set to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of yerba mate (YM) consumption on dopaminergic neurons in a mice model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: The motor…Treatment monitoring using objective and frequent digital testing in the D1PAM (LY3154207) phase 1B Parkinson’s disease clinical trial
Objective: This study evaluates the feasibility, reliability, and validity of smartphone app-based testing in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in the D1PAM (D1 positive allosteric…A recessive repeat expansion causes CANVAS and is a common cause of Late-Onset Ataxia
Objective: To identify and characterize the genetic cause of common, idiopathic, cerebellar ataxia. Background: Late-onset ataxia is a common reason for neurological consultation, but its…Ataxin-2 gene in the Cuban population: Mutagenesis and epigenetic DNA methylation disease influencing phenotype
Objective: To characterize genetics and epigenetics factors contributing to the origin and accounting to the Cuban SCA2 phenotype variability. Background: CAG repeat expansions in ATXN2…Spinocerebellar ataxias in Southern Brazil: genotypic and phenotypic evaluation of 213 families
Objective: To describe and correlate the genotype and phenotype of patients diagnosed with SCAs. Background: Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs) are neurodegenerative diseases with autosomal dominant inheritance…The First Chinese Case of Fragile X-associated Tremor/ Ataxia Syndrome :an underestimated disease in China
Objective: To report the first case of FXTAS from mainland of China and review the literature to find out why is FXTAS an underestimated disease in…Genetic diagnosis of Chorea-acanthocytosis using whole exome sequencing revealed novel VPS13A Gene mutation
Objective: We hereby report a patient who is genetically confirmed Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc). Background: ChAc is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutation of…Rare causes of Opsoclonus Myoclonus Ataxia Syndrome
Objective: To evaluate for rare causes of Opsoclonus Myoclonus Ataxia Syndrome. Background: Opsoclonus Myoclonus is a rare acute onset neurological disorder characterized by associated ocular,…Benefit and Weakness with botulinum toxin: time course and relationship.
Objective: To compare the timecourse of and relationship between benefit and weakness after botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection. Background: The timecourse of benefit onset and duration…
