The Role of Vitamin D in Basal Ganglia Diseases

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Objective: Vitamin D (VitD) has been shown to influence several cellular processes in the brain. The extent to which VitD plays a role in the pathomechanism of neuronal loss and dysfunction in basal ganglia diseases (BGDs) is still debated.

Neuroimaging of Basal Ganglia in Neurometabolic Diseases in Children

Brain Sciences, 2020
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.

Vascular Risk Factors and Diseases Modulate Deficits of Reward-Based Reversal Learning in Acute Basal Ganglia Stroke. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Besides motor function, the basal ganglia have been implicated in feedback learning. In patients with chronic basal ganglia infarcts, deficits in reward-based reversal learning have previously been described.

A case report of Fahr’s disease presenting with cerebellar ataxia [PDF]

Journal of Research in Clinical Medicine, 2023
Fahr’s disease is a rare condition characterized by the symmetrical calcification of basal ganglia and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum calcification. It is usually manifested by involuntary movements and psychiatric symptoms. Ataxia has been reported as

Diagnostic Evaluation of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in Parkinsonism [PDF]

Journal of Research in Clinical Medicine, 2021
Background Parkinsonism as a group of movement disorders, exhibit similar clinical presentation. Therefore, clinically differentiating these diseases is difficult. We investigated the diagnostic value of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in this setting.

Basal ganglia for beginners: the basic concepts you need to know and their role in movement control

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023
The basal ganglia are a subcortical collection of interacting clusters of cell bodies, and are involved in reward, emotional, and motor circuits. Within all the brain processing necessary to carry out voluntary movement, the basal nuclei are fundamental,

Fahr’s Syndrome and Pseudohypoparathyroidism- A rare clinical entity

Sri Lanka Journal of Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020
Physiological intracranial calcification occurs in about 0.3-1.5% of cases. It is asymptomatic and detected incidentally by neuroimaging. Pathological basal ganglia calcification is due to various causes, such as: metabolic disorders, infectious and ...

Preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index may predict prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with spontaneous basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage undergoing surgical operation

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundProlonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) has been proven as a risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with neurocritical illness. Spontaneous basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one common subtype of hemorrhagic stroke and is ...
