Functional connectivity underpinnings of fatigue in “drug-naïve” patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Using resting-state functional MRI, we investigated the functional correlates of fatigue in a cohort of “drug-naïve”patients with PD. Background: Fatigue is a common problem…Botulinum toxin A injections changes sensorimotor network activations in cervical dystonia to state more related to physiological condition
Objective: To evaluate botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) effectiveness on network in sensorimotor circuits. Background: Involvement of many cerebellar structures, such basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, premotor…Motor subtypes in Parkinson’s disease are distinguished by alterations in morphology and white matter integrity
Objective: This study aimed to extend current knowledge on symptomatic heterogeneity in Parkinson's disease (PD) by investigating structural alterations underpinning FC. Background: The postural instability…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…Neural mechanisms underlying step initiation failure in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying gait initiation failure in Parkinson's disease patients with Freezing of Gait. Background: Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a…In-vivo free-water imaging and functional connectivity in a knock-in mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Objective: To examine in-vivo functional connectivity and free-water diffusion imaging in dystonic mutant Tor1a knock-in (DYT1) and wild-type (WT) control mice. We test the hypothesis…Altered resting-state functional interhemispheric connectivity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine direct interhemispheric functional connectivity (FCi) in Parkinson's disease (PD) during resting-state fMRI and to investigate the relations between observed connectivity changes and…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…MRI signatures of the brain of Parkinson’s disease and idiopathic REM sleep behavioral disorder subjects
Objective: To characterize brain microstructural integrity, iron loads, and functional connectivity in 10 idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), 10 Parkinson's disease (PD)…Predicting therapeutic effects of atomoxetine and citalopram on response inhibition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: (1) To reassess the behavioral impact of novel noradrenergic (atomoxetine) and serotonergic (citalopram) therapies for impulsivity and (2) to develop predictive models to identify…
