Study of striatal dopamine transporter function in Alzheimer’s disease with parkinsonism
Objective: To clarify the pathological basis for Alzheimer's disease (AD) with parkinsonism using striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) scan. Background: Pathological basis for parkinsonism in AD…A dopamine-dependent activity of the STN in the control of balance in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), and its relation to nigro-striatal dopaminergic denervation, in control of balance in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Decline in drawing ability associated with frontal dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of the present study was to elucidate the properties of drawing ability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep…Parkinsonism in patients with CADASIL
Objective: To report the clinical manifestation of parkinsonism in patient with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) confirmed by the NOTCH3…Genetic factors influencing frontostriatal dysfunction and the development of dementia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the role of APOE, MAPT, COMT, SNCA and GBA genes in both striatal dopaminergic denervation and the development of dementia in Parkinson's…Depression, anxiety, and apathy in Parkinson’s disease: Insights from neuroimaging studies
Objective: (1) To evaluate the existing neuroimaging studies of depression, anxiety and apathy in Parkinson's disease (PD) and (2) to determine the key neural pathway…Pisa syndrome in a drug-naive Parkinson’s disease patient
Objective: We report on a patient who presented a reversible Pisa syndrome without any dopaminergic treatment at onset and before diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD).…Lower levels of uric acid and striatal dopamine in non-tremor dominant Parkinson’s disease subtype
Objective: To investigate whether Parkinson's disease (PD) motor subtypes differ in their levels of uric acid (UA), and if these differences correlate with the degree…Striatal postsynaptic dysfunction in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism is associated with disease progression
Objective: To assess pre- and postsynaptic dopaminergic function in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative adult-onset movement disorder associated with striatal…Evaluation of regional changes in striatal DAT binding in a progressing Parkinson’s disease (PD) cohort: Lessons for imaging biomarker assessment in disease-modifying therapeutic trials
Objective: To evaluate subregion-dependent striatal changes in dopamine transporter (DAT) binding using 123-I Ioflupane SPECT in PD participants in the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI)…
