Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis is an effective tool for the detection of novel intragenic PLA2G6 mutations: Implications for molecular diagnosis [PDF]
Phospholipase associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive neurological disorders caused by mutations in the PLA2G6 gene. Direct gene sequencing detects 85% mutations in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

Clinical–Radiological Spectrum of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy‐Related Inflammation
Objective To identify clinical and radiological features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy‐related inflammation (CAA‐ri), and compare these features with those of sporadic CAA, to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and clinical care of CAA‐ri. Methods We retrospectively reviewed routine clinical data from 37 patients with CAA‐ri and 158 patients with ...

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

Atypical Visually Guided Precision Grip Control in Middle‐Aged and Older Autistic Adults
ABSTRACT Sensorimotor impairments are well documented in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about how these difficulties present in middle‐aged and older autistic adults or how they relate to demographic factors and autistic traits.

Behavioral and Neurophysiological Effects of Transdermal Rotigotine in Atypical Parkinsonism [PDF]
Effective therapies for the so-called atypical parkinsonian syndrome (APS) such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), or corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are not available.

ABSTRACT Preliminary studies suggest there are differences in the facial expressions produced by autistic and non‐autistic individuals. However, it is unclear what specifically is different, whether such differences remain after controlling for facial morphology and alexithymia, and whether production differences relate to perception differences ...

Characterizing Secondary and Atypical Parkinsonisms: Defining Features and Clinical Variability
Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by akinesia/bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability. Within the group of parkinsonisms is Parkinson’s disease, also known as neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndrome.

Abstract Objective Long‐term memory deficits are often seen in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Recently, studies showed that patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) type 2, which presents with severe neuron loss in CA1 only, performed within the normal range. However, up to 30% of HS type 2 cases have memory deficits.
