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

Autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis associated with anti-recoverin antibodies: A case report
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]
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 ...

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

Neuroimaging of Basal Ganglia in Neurometabolic Diseases in Children
Diseases primarily affecting the basal ganglia in children result in characteristic disturbances of movement and muscle tone. Both experimental and clinical evidence indicates that the basal ganglia also play a role in higher mental states.

PDZD8 is not the ‘functional ortholog’ of Mmm1, it is a paralog [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Authors of a recent paper demonstrate that, like ERMES (ER-mitochondria encounter structure) in fungal cells, PDZD8 (PDZ domain containing 8) tethers mitochondria to the ER in mammalian cells.
