Neurosteroids are pleiotropic molecules involved in various neurodegenerative diseases with neuroinflammation. We assessed neurosteroids’ serum levels in a cohort of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients with heterozygous glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutations ...

ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Abstract Background Visuospatial deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) often precede dementia and complicate daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and α‐synuclein aggregation frequently co‐occur in PD, but their combined impact on cognition is unclear.

Dual-Task Performance in GBA Parkinson’s Disease
Introduction. Parkinson’s disease patients carrying a heterozygous mutation in the geneglucocerebrosidase(GBA-PD) show faster motor and cognitive decline than idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD) patients, but the mechanisms behind this observation are not well understood. Successful dual tasking (DT) requires a smooth integration of motor and nonmotor

Socio‐Occupational Functioning after Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Socio‐occupational functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is not fully captured by standard motor and quality‐of‐life scales. Objectives To characterize patient‐reported socio‐occupational functioning after STN‐DBS and explore associated clinical and ...

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

Abstract Background The GBA1 gene encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying a GBA1 variant (GBA‐PD) exhibit faster cognitive decline, linked to cholinergic degeneration. Objectives The aim was to investigate whether GCase activity, measured in monocytes, correlates with cognitive dysfunction or ...

Abstract Background Common and rare genetic variants in leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been linked with sporadic and familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, we discovered that common genetic variation near the LRRK2 locus determined survival in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

Abstract Background An accurate understanding of prognosis in Parkinson's disease (PD) is important for patient information provision, personalized treatment, and clinical trial design, but most previous research has been biased towards younger, healthier patients.

Seeing Invisible Oligomers: Rethinking α‐Synuclein Pathology Through Proximity Ligation Assay
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy are defined by α‐synuclein (αSYN)‐positive inclusions – Lewy bodies (LBs) and glial cytoplasmic inclusions – yet mounting evidence indicates that these inclusions represent only a fraction of disease‐relevant pathology.
