Absence of the nigrosome-1 area in 3 tesla resonance and its relation with hyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare the usefulness of two neuroimaging methods (3TMR and MEcho) to assist in the diagnosis of PD. Background: In patients with Parkinson's disease…Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity is similarly enlarged in Gaucher and in GBA mutation carriers
Objective: Testing the role of glycolipid accumulation in the risk for Parkinson's disease. Background: Increased risk for Parkinson's disease is well known among carriers of…Neural correlates of movement sequence kinematics in substantia nigra dopaminergic cells
Objective: To develop a new behavioral task for assessment of mice forelimb movements, and evaluate the substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic cells’ (SNpc) correlates of…High-mobility group box 1 from astrocytes upregulates TH expression to maintain dopaminergic neurons via JNK pathway in human Parkinson’s disease patients and MPTP induced mouse model
Objective: Supporting by glial cells could be reinforced the function of dopaminergic neurons against extracellular insults in Parkinson’s disease (PD) development. However, we do not…Admixing augments nigral dopaminergic correlates during development to impart resistance to MPTP-toxicity at adulthood
Objective: Establish the developmental basis for varying nigral dopaminergic (DA) correlates in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) susceptible C57BL/6, MPTP resistant CD-1 and their resistant crossbred mice. Background:…Optimization of Synucleinopathy and Nigrostriatal Degeneration Induced by Injection of Alpha-Synuclein Preformed Fibrils into Rat Striatum
Objective: Optimization of the surgical parameters (intrastriatal placement and concentration of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils; α-syn PFFs) to increase the magnitude of nigrostriatal α-syn pathology and…Curcumin I protect against copper induced neurobehavioral features of Parkinson’s disease in rat
Objective: evaluate the impact of acute Cu intoxication (10 mg/kg B.W. i.p) for 3 days on the dopaminergic system and locomotor performance, together with the…Magnetic resonance imaging of nigrosome-1 in the diagnosis of early Parkinson’s: Initial results of the Parkinson’s magnetic imaging repository (PaMIR)
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of T2* weighted high resolution 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a prospective…Ultra high field magnetic resonance imaging of nigrosome 1 is a biomarker of new onset and premotor Parkinson’s disease
Objective: An unmet need exists to develop a methodology to diagnose Parkinson's disease (PD) in the premotor stage, so that patients can be enrolled in…Neuromelanin-MRI of substantia nigra subregions in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To detect changes in the different subregions of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to correlate the…
