Neurorehabilitation in dystonia care: key questions of who benefits, what modalities, and when to intervene [PDF]
DystoniaDystonia causes involuntary, patterned movements and posturing, often leading to disability, pain, and reduced quality-of-life. Despite standard treatments such as botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections, oral medications, and deep brain stimulation therapy ...

Dopamine signaling negatively regulates striatal phosphorylation of Cdk5 at tyrosine 15 in mice.
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013 Striatal functions depend on the activity balance between the dopamine and glutamate neurotransmissions. Glutamate inputs activate cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), which inhibits postsynaptic dopamine signaling by phosphorylating DARPP-32 (dopamine- and

Decreased N-TAF1 expression in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism patient-specific neural stem cells
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016 X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder involving a progressive loss of striatal medium spiny neurons. The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are not known, in part because there have been few cellular models ...
