Chaotic desynchronization as the therapeutic mechanism of deep brain stimulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2011
High frequency deep-brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (DBS) relieves many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in humans and animal models. Although the treatment has seen widespread use, its therapeutic mechanism remains paradoxical. The

The role of the left head of caudate in suppressing irrelevant words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Suppressing irrelevant words is essential to successful speech production and is expected to involve general control mechanisms that reduce interference from task-unrelated processing.

Diagnostic value of conventional MRI combined with DTI for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

open access: yesPediatrics and Neonatology, 2018
Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB) is a common clinical disease and can cause bilirubin encephalopathy in severe cases. It is now widely accepted that increased signal intensity in the globus pallidus on MR T1WI is an important sign of ...

Correlation between relaxometry and diffusion tensor imaging in the globus pallidus of Huntington's disease patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder with progressive impairment of motor, behavioral and cognitive functions. The clinical features of HD are closely related to the degeneration of the basal ganglia, predominantly the ...

Dichotomous Organization of the External Globus Pallidus [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2012
Different striatal projection neurons are the origin of a dual organization essential for basal ganglia function. We have defined an analogous division of labor in the external globus pallidus (GPe) of Parkinsonian rats, showing that the distinct temporal activities of two populations of GPe neuron in vivo are underpinned by distinct molecular profiles

Microstructural changes within the basal ganglia differ between Parkinson disease subtypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2016
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the substantia nigra has shown promise in detecting and quantifying neurodegeneration in Parkinson disease (PD). It remains unknown, however, whether differences in microstructural changes within the basal ganglia ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies distinct mouse medial ganglionic eminence cell types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Many subtypes of cortical interneurons (CINs) are found in adult mouse cortices, but the mechanism generating their diversity remains elusive. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on the mouse embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), the major ...

Effects of pharmacological block of GABAA receptors on pallidal neurons in normal and parkinsonian state

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010
The globus pallidus plays a central integrative role in the basal ganglia circuitry. Morphological studies have revealed a high level of GABA and GABAA receptors in the globus pallidus.

Combined Application of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging Techniques to Investigate the Effect of Iron Deposition on Microstructural Changes in the Brain in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
ObjectivesBrain iron deposition and microstructural changes in brain tissue are associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the correlation between these factors in Parkinson’s disease has been little studied.

Empirical comparison of diffusion kurtosis imaging and diffusion basis spectrum imaging using the same acquisition in healthy young adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
As diffusion tensor imaging gains widespread use, many researchers have been motivated to go beyond the tensor model and fit more complex diffusion models, to gain a more complete description of white matter microstructure and associated pathology.
