Background: Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder involving loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and subsequent dysfunction in the striatum. The diagnosis of PD remains a clinical diagnosis based on patient history and physical exam findings. In 2011 the
Objective: The primary aim of the current project is to assess the utility of the BNA as a quantitative, objective, neurophysiological marker for diagnosis and monitoring of the above most common MDi in man.
The secondary aim is to find predictive bio-types (electrophysiological fingerprint) of the
Tremor is defined as rhythmic and oscillating involuntary movements of a body part. Action tremor occurs when a body part is activated, and is clinically most frequently seen in Essential (idiopathic) Tremor (ET), with an overall prevalence of 0.9 %, and of 4.6 % in people over 65 years. But it can
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease the neurochemical hallmark of which is dopamine deficiency in nigrostriatal pathways, and characterized clinically by a movement disorder consisting of rest tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, impairment of postural reflexes and gait
In this study, the investigators will monitor extracellular neurotransmitter levels using a probe that is able to perform realtime electrochemical detection during DBS neurosurgery. The overall question this study is designed to answer is: Are there neurotransmitters released during deep brain
Lewy body disease (LBD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and second only to Alzheimer's disease in terms of prevalence, disability, and societal/financial burden. The phenotypic variability of LBD is striking, as it can manifest as the well-known disorder of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder with loss of dopaminergic terminals in the striatum. Essential tremor is one of the conditions most commonly misdiagnosed as parkinsonism, and early clinical differentiation between these conditions can be difficult. F-18 FPCIT is a
