Gait and balance in cervical dystonia and dystonic head tremor
Dystonia, 2023 Background: Previous studies have found gait and balance abnormalities in patients with cervical dystonia. However, the characteristics of gait and balance in cervical dystonia with head tremors have not been ascertained.

Cerebellar dysfunction in rodent models with dystonia, tremor, and ataxia
Dystonia, 2023 Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary co- or over-contractions of the muscles, which results in abnormal postures and movements. These symptoms arise from the pathophysiology of a brain-wide dystonia network.

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

Service-based survey of dystonia in Munich [PDF]
, 2002 We performed a service-based epidemiological study of dystonia in Munich, Germany. Due to favourable referral and treatment patterns in the Munich area, we could provide confident data from dystonia patients seeking botulinum toxin treatment.

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 ...

Schizophrenia Bulletin, 1999 This paper provides an overview of the phenomenology, epidemiology, and treatment of tardive dystonia. Tardive dystonia is one of the extrapyramidal syndromes that starts after long-term use of dopamine receptor antagonists. The diagnosis is based on the presence of chronic dystonia, defined as a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions, frequently ...

Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Chronic Globus Pallidus Internus Stimulation in Different Types of Primary Dystonia [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) offers a very promising therapy for medically intractable dystonia. However, little is known about the long-term benefit and safety of this procedure. We therefore performed a

Putaminal mosaic visualized by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry in the human neostriatum.
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2016 Among the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits, the putamen plays a critical role in the ‘motor’ circuits that control voluntary movements and motor learning.
