Selectively driving cholinergic fibers optically in the thalamic reticular nucleus promotes sleep

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain and brainstem are thought to play important roles in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and arousal. Using transgenic mice in which channelrhdopsin-2 is selectively expressed in cholinergic neurons, we show ...

Basal Forebrain Volume and Concurrent Hallucinations and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visual hallucinations (VH) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often co‐occur in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Each symptom in isolation is associated with cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) atrophy. However, it is unclear whether BF integrity relates to one symptom preferentially or to their co‐occurrence, and whether this relationship ...

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Analyzing the ‘Bradykinesia Complex’ in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bradykinesia is the hallmark sign of parkinsonism. We recently proposed redefining bradykinesia as a complex of motor abnormalities, each reflecting separate pathophysiological elements. Objective To analyze the ‘bradykinesia complex’ in Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy elderly individuals.

The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Monoaminergic Networks of Cognitive and Behavioral Symptoms in Early Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with several behavioral and cognitive symptoms, the neurobiological background of which is not yet fully understood. Objectives The aim was to investigate the association between monoamine function and four specific nonmotor symptoms in early PD using the Parkinson's Progression Markers ...
