Parkinson’s disease motor subtypes show similar deficits in inhibitory control
Objective: To determine whether predominant motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) differentially impact distinct forms of inhibitory motor control. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) impairs rapid…Levodopa induced dyskinesia and nicotinergic α4β2 acetylcholin receptor density: A multi-tracer imaging study
Objective: We investigated α4β2 acetylcholin receptor (nAChR) density in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and its correlation with dopaminergic…Floor square size predicts step count of 360° turns in PD patients with freezing
Objective: To determine the effect of floor square size on turning behavior in patients with PD. Background: Turning has been repeatedly shown to be the…Diffusion tensor imaging in Parkinson’s disease: Review and meta-analysis with clinical considerations and neuroimaring parameters
Objective: (1) To synthesize brain white matter changes with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in Parkinson's disease (PD); and (2) to study correlations of these changes…Subthalamic nucleus activity during virtual reality provoked lower limb freezing in a patient with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: Record subthalamic nucleus activity in a Parkinson's disease patient with gait freezing while they perform a virtual reality walking task during DBS surgery. Background:…Movement related beta oscillatory activity during self-paced wrist movement in the human subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To explore voluntary movement related neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: How the human basal ganglia processes…Distribution of oscillatory activities in MRI confirmed subthalamic nucleus subregions
Objective: To explore the differences and similarities of oscillatory activity between subregions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background: In Parkinson's disease (PD), treatment driven changes…Effect of vibration on motor performance: A new intervention to improve bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: Here we propose to test whether bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be ameliorated by non-invasive interventions (peripheral tactile vibration) that decrease sensory precision.…Pallidal DBS and pallidotomy alter cortical synchronization in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate electrophysiologic characteristics of sensorimotor cortical activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing globus pallidus deep brain stimulation (GPi DBS) or radiofrequency…Two years after unilateral Forel’s H campotomy for Parkinson’s disease: Quality of life, motor and cognitive outcomes of eleven patients
Objective: To provide a thorough assessment of the effects of unilateral Forel's H campotomy on Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Since its proposal in 1963, Forel's…
