    Meta-Analysis of Short-afferent inhibition and Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease

    J.F. Martin-Rodriguez, P. Mir (Seville, Spain)

    Objective: In this meta-analysis, we assess whether short-afferent inhibition (SAI) is impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients as well as identify clinical variables associated to…

    α4β2-nicotinic receptor availability in Parkinson’s disease MCI and healthy controls: A pilot imaging study using [18F]-XTRA PET

    K. Mills, Y. Du, J. Coughlin, A. Horti, M. Pomper, G. Smith (Baltimore, MD, USA)

    Objective: We aimed to show that a radiotracer with high affinity to cortical and hippocampal α4β2-nicotinic cholinergic receptors (1) would be reduced in regions associated…

    The correlation studies between cholinergic cognitive impairment of Parkinson’s disease and the cortex thickness of brain

    Y. Zhang, B. Li (Guang Zhou, China)

    Objective: To determine whether cognitive domain impairment of visuospatial, memory, attention is related to dysfunction of brain cholinergic neurotransmitter system in mild cognitive impairment of…

    Fasciculations from a cholinesterase inhibitor

    W. Deeb (Gainesville, FL, USA)

    Objective: Present and discuss fasciculations in the setting of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Background: Specific acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors (e.g., donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) are the current first-line treatment…
