Neck proprioception is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether proprioceptive information generated from the neck is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a focal dystonia…Verb naming in hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders: Preliminary results
Objective: To investigate verb naming differences in hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease, PD) and hyperkinetic (primary cervical dystonia, PCD) movement disorders; and to determine whether different effects…Finger tapping-related brain activation and impact of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: To assess brain activation during simple movements of the right hand in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) by means of fMRI. To test the…Mental simulation of whole-body movements in patients with isolated cervical dystonia
Objective: To explore mental transformation of whole-body images in patients with isolated cervical dystonia (CD). Background: Mental transformation of bodies or of body-part images is…Faithful SGCE imprinting in iPSC-derived cortical neurons: An endogenous model system of myoclonus-dystonia
Objective: To test the potential of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons from Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) patients when studying specific epigenetic and brain-specific aspects of…Pallidal low frequency activity correlates with dystonic symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between pallidal 4–12 Hz activity and symptom severity as quantified by the Toronto…A dynamic causal model of the superior colliculus: Inhibitory activity increases with the temporal discrimination threshold
Objective: To investigate if abnormalities observed in the putamen of unaffected first-degree relatives (of cervical dystonia patients) with abnormal temporal discrimination thresholds (TDT) are a…Dystonia after peripheral nerve injury in DYT1 transgenic rats
Objective: To trigger a dystonic phenotype in a non-dystonic rat DYT1 model by inducing a peripheral nerve injury and to describe a new clinical scoring…Digitally captured Archimedes spiral indices correlate with clinical assessment of dystonia severity
Objective: To determine whether digitized spiral analysis captures severity of dystonia in comparison to motor scores from the clinical gold standard, the Burke-Fahn-Marsden rating scale…Robust sensorimotor deficits in a knock-in mouse model of primary torsion dystonia
Objective: The aim of present study was to (1) generate more powerful tests to detect robust behavioral alterations in the DYT1 knock-in mouse model of…
