Acute and Chronic Local Field Potential Recordings in Dystonia—A Systematic Review
Abstract Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of distributed network dysfunction involving the basal ganglia, cortex and cerebellum. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes provide a unique opportunity to characterize the electrophysiological signatures ...

Abstract Background Falls occur across all stages of Huntington's disease (HD) and are associated with poor quality of life and injury. However, there is limited information on falls in HD. Objective The aim was to investigate the clinical features potentially associated with falls in HD. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional, analytical observational

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

JAK2 Variant and Parkinsonian Syndromes: Coincidence or Pathophysiological Link?
Abstract Background JAK2 variants are a hallmark of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia. These disorders are often associated with thrombotic and inflammatory complications. From a movement disorder perspective, chorea is a rare but well‐recognized neurological occurrence in this context ...

A transgenic minipig models of Huntington’s disease
Background: Some promising treatments for Huntington’s disease (HD) may require pre-clinical testing in large animals. Minipig is a suitable species because of its large gyrencephalic brain and long lifespan. Objective: To generate HD transgenic (TgHD)

Therapeutic advances in neural regeneration for Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion mutation of a cytosine-adenine-guanine triplet in the exon 1 of the HTT gene which is responsible for the production of the huntingtin (Htt) protein. In physiological conditions,

Genetic modifiers of somatic expansion and clinical phenotypes in Huntington’s disease reveal shared and tissue-specific effects [PDF]
An inherited, expanded CAG repeat in HTT undergoes further somatic expansion to cause Huntington’s disease (HD). To gain insights into this molecular mechanism, we compared genome-wide association studies of somatic expansion in blood and somatic ...

Abstract Background Although not confirmed, some studies have suggested that elevated homocysteine levels are common in patients with Huntington's disease (HD). Its clinical relevance remains unclear. Objectives We aimed to assess vitamin B and homocysteine levels in HD patients and explore the relationships among hyperhomocysteinemia, vitamin B ...
