Mapping Intrinsic Brain Network Connectivity Using Resting-State Functional MRI In Spinocerebellar Ataxia 12 In Comparison with Healthy Controls
Objective: To assess and quantify the functional brain networks in resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA 12) compared with healthy…Redefining Anatomical Boundaries, An Atypical Case of MV-PLUS with Supratentorial extension.
Objective: To report the first case of Multinodular and Vacuolating Posterior Fossa Lesions of Unknown Significance (MV-PLUS) with atypical supratentorial temporal extension, expanding the known…Oculomotor Abnormalities in the Spinocerebellar Ataxias: A Large Cohort Analysis
Objective: To characterize genotype-specific ocular motor features in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) as a function of SCA genotype. Background: The spinocerebellar ataxias are a genetically diverse…Analysis showed resemblance in Genetic architecture of rare movement disorders in consanguineous Pashtoon ethnic group
Objective: Present Study was focused on improving the available genetic architecture of rare movement disorders (MD) and subsequent use of this knowledge for protective measurements…Genotype and age at onset drive vermis atrophy in CACNA1A and GAA-FGF14 related ataxias
Objective: To assess cerebellar volumetry using a deep learning method in patients with non-polyglutamine CACNA1A- or GAA-FGF14-related disease. Background: Ion channel dysfunction is a recurring…Impact of Innovative Physiotherapy Interventions on Motor Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders
Objective: 1. Assess the extent to which innovative physiotherapy interventions improve motor function, as measured by the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).2. Determine the…Axial Tremor does not correlate with Poor Balance in Essential Tremor
Objective: To explore the correlation between the severity of axial tremor and balance disorder in Essential Tremor (ET). Background: ET is a heterogeneous disorder and…Network localization of limb ataxia
Objective: To identify the neural substrates of limb ataxia caused by stroke lesions. Background: Ataxia is a neurological sign defined by incoordination of voluntary movements.…Pons and middle cerebellar peduncle diameters are diagnostic of Multiple System Atrophy of the Cerebellar Type (MSA-C)
Objective: To develop an MRI biomarker for the definitive diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy of the Cerebellar Type (MSA-C). Background: MSA is a sporadic, adult-onset…Fragile X Associated Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) presents with widespread reactive gliosis and white-matter specific astrocyte degeneration
Objective: We will characterize neuropathological alterations of astrocytes in different regions of the FXTAS brain. Background: FXTAS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that occurs in…
