Quantifying reinforcement learning deficits in early stage Parkinson’s patients using a strategic decision-making task
Objective: 1.Characterize deficits in reinforcement learning processes in PD during a strategic game analogous to Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS). 2.Examine the effects of dopaminergic (DA) treatment on…Impaired eye voice coordination in spinocerebellar degeneration while reading aloud
Objective: In order to elucidate the cause of the impaired reading performance. Background: Deficit in reading performance in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) has been…Natural history of saccadic abnormalities in spinocerebellar ataxia 2: Implications to designing future clinical trials
Objective: The present study was aimed to assess the progression of saccade involvement in SCA2 patients, identify its main determinants and evaluate its usefulness as…Improvement of saccade amplitude by the STN DBS and visual target eccentricity
Objective: To investigate whether or not the improvement of saccade amplitude by the subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the same for to…Impaired temporal coupling of action and perception in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study in Parkinson's disease (PD) the dependence of saccadic and perceptual reaction times (SRT and PRT) upon the temporal asynchrony (TA) between central…Eye tracking-based measurement of cognitive functions in patients with neurodegenerative diseases
Objective: To develop and evaluate motor-free procedures via eye tracking for determining cognitive functions in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and motor neuron disease…Impairment of decision-making processes in patients with Parkinson’s disease during a strategic game
Objective: To characterize differences in choice patterns, and differentiate the effects of dopaminergic (DA) treatment on motor and cognitive function, during dynamic decision-making in Parkinson's…Reward insensitivity differentiates apathy from depression in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine if a potential cause of apathy in Parkinson's disease (PD) might be insensitivity to rewards, establish if this differentiates apathy from depression…Ocular flutter in alcohol withdrawal syndrome
Objective: To describe a case of ocular flutter occurring as part of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Background: Ocular flutter is a form of saccadic oscillation consisting…Apraxia of speech as the initial manifestation of progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: We report a patient with apraxia of speech as the initial symptom who finally developed a progressive supranuclear palsy. Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)…
