Dysfunctions of the basal ganglia-cerebellar-thalamo-cortical system produce motor tics in Tourette syndrome

open access: yesPLoS Comput. Biol., 2017
Motor tics are a cardinal feature of Tourette syndrome and are traditionally associated with an excess of striatal dopamine in the basal ganglia. Recent evidence increasingly supports a more articulated view where cerebellum and cortex, working closely ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Materials for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stimulus‐responsive materials (SRMs) hold great promise for use in a wide range of biomedical applications. This review covers four stimulus modalities, namely, electrical, optical, magnetic, and ultrasound, and their associated SRMs. It provides a summary of the materials in each modality, their development, and current research perspectives.

The impact of graft size on the development of dyskinesia following intrastriatal grafting of embryonic dopamine neurons in the rat

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2006
Intrastriatal transplants of embryonic ventral mesencephalon can cause dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We assessed the impact of transplant size on the development of graft-induced dyskinesia.

Thalamic interactions of cerebellum and basal ganglia

open access: yesBrain Structure and Function, 2017
Cerebellum and basal ganglia are reciprocally interconnected with the neocortex via oligosynaptic loops. The signal pathways of these loops predominantly converge in motor areas of the frontal cortex and are mainly segregated on subcortical level. Recent

3D Printing of Conducting Polymer Hydrogels for Electrostimulation‐Assisted Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights nanosized inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) as promising ink constituents for 3D printing of conducting hydrogel (CH)‐based electrostimulation (ES) devices. ICP‐based ink formulation, 3D printing, and solidification strategies are discussed, along with the application of 3D‐printed ICP‐based CHs as ES platforms for regulating

Effects of dance therapy on balance, gait and neuro-psychological performances in patients with Parkinson's disease and postural instability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Postural Instability (PI) is a core feature of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and a major cause of falls and disabilities. Impairment of executive functions has been called as an aggravating factor on motor performances. Dance therapy has been shown effective

Dissociation of metabolic and hemodynamic levodopa responses in the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2016
Dissociation of vasomotor and metabolic responses to levodopa has been observed in human subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) studied with PET and in autoradiograms from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat. In both species, acute levodopa administration was
