Gait and balance in cervical dystonia and dystonic head tremor

open access: yesDystonia, 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

open access: yesDystonia, 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.

The Dystonias [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1988
Dystonia is a difficult problem for both the clinician and the scientist. It is sufficiently common to be seen by almost all physicians, yet uncommon enough to prevent any physician from gaining broad experience in its diagnosis and treatment. Each case represents a difficult challenge even to the specialist.

Dopamine signaling negatively regulates striatal phosphorylation of Cdk5 at tyrosine 15 in mice.

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesDisease 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 ...

Development of a highly sensitive immunohistochemical method to detect neurochemical molecules in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from autopsied human brains

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a valuable method for identifying discrete neurochemical molecules by the interaction of target antigens with validated antibodies tagged with a visible label (e.g., peroxidase).

Putaminal mosaic visualized by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry in the human neostriatum.

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
