Choreoathetosis associated with cervical dystonia as clinical presentation of thyrotoxicosis: A rare condition
Objective: To describe the first report of Cervical Dystonia and Choreoatetosis associated in the same patient with hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis). Background: Thyroid Disease is related with…Temporal discrimination threshold and the menstrual cycle
Objective: To demonstrate the absence of any significant difference in weekly TDT values during two consecutive menstrual cycles in healthy female volunteers. Background: Temporal discrimination…A functional magnetic imaging study of the response in the superior colliculus to looming stimuli in cervical dystonia patients and their relatives
Objective: To demonstrate the functional magnetic resonance imaging response to looming stimuli in the superior colliculus of cervical dystonia patients and their relatives with and…An atypical case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia
Objective: To describe a case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia. Background: Adult-onset dystonia cases account for at least 90% of primary dystonia, however, less than…Impaired response times to luminance stimuli in dystonia patients indicate disordered superior colliculus processing
Objective: We hypothesise that patients with adult onset isolated focal dystonia (AOIFD) will have slower reaction times to luminance stimuli versus healthy controls due to…Orientation of attention affects onset of head saccades: A novel representation of the Posner cueing effect
Objective: We demonstrate how newly emerging technology can be utilized to record head movements and extract robust performance metrics. Therefore we will attempt to show,…Altered inter-hemispheric functional coordination in primary blepharospasm
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the inter-hemispheric functional connectivity of the whole brain in patients with BSP during resting state. Background: Abnormalities in…Temporal dynamics of pallidal low-frequency oscillations in dystonia
Objective: To assess the occurrence and volatility of 4-12 Hz oscillations in local field potentials (LFPs) recorded in the internal globus pallidus (GPi) of dystonia…Symptoms of dystonia in a mouse with mutation in Lamb1
Objective: A mouse model that exhibits symptoms appropriate to dystonia will allow investigation underlying circuit abnormalities. Here we tested two hypotheses with the lamb1t mouse:…Sensorimotor gray matter changes in professional brass players with and without Embouchure dystonia
Objective: To investigate patterns of gray matter alterations in professional brass musicians with embouchure dystonia (ED) in relation to healthy professional brass musicians and to…
