Potential mechanisms for imperfect synchronization in parkinsonian basal ganglia [PDF]
, 2012 Neural activity in the brain of parkinsonian patients is characterized by the intermittently synchronized oscillatory dynamics. This imperfect synchronization, observed in the beta frequency band, is believed to be related to the hypokinetic motor ...

Cerebellum: an explanation for dystonia? [PDF]
, 2017 Dystonia is a movement disorder that is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, abnormal movements and postures, as well as by non-motor symptoms, and is due to abnormalities in different brain areas.

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]
, 1990 The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.

Neuroinflammation in the generation of post-transplantation dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2008 The observation that neural grafts can induce dyskinesias has severely hindered the development of a transplantation therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD).

A basal ganglia inspired model of action selection evaluated in a robotic survival task. [PDF]
, 2003 The basal ganglia system has been proposed as a possible neural substrate for action selection in the vertebrate brain. We describe a robotic implementation of a model of the basal ganglia and demonstrate the capacity of this system to generate adaptive ...

Autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis associated with anti-recoverin antibodies: A case report
eNeurologicalSci, 2021 Autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis causes neurological symptoms such as parkinsonism associated with basal ganglia lesions. Here, we report a case of autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis without retinal lesions or malignancy harboring anti-recoverin ...

Temporal discrimination: Mechanisms and relevance to adult-onset dystonia [PDF]
, 2017 Temporal discrimination is the ability to determine that two sequential sensory stimuli are separated in time. For any individual, the temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) is the minimum interval at which paired sequential stimuli are perceived as ...
