Nucleus Accumbens Shell and mPFC but not Insula Orexin-1 Receptors Promote Excessive Alcohol Drinking

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Addiction to alcohol remains a major social and economic problem, in part because of the high motivation for alcohol that humans exhibit and the hazardous binge intake this promotes.

Altered intrinsic functional coupling between core neurocognitive networks in Parkinson\u27s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Parkinson3s disease (PD) is largely attributed to disruptions in the nigrostriatal dopamine system. These neurodegenerative changes may also have a more global effect on intrinsic brain organization at the cortical level.

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Projects for Transformation. The second part of this study presents a selection of projects developed by the five research units for the analyzed case studies. Since the objectives of the transformation processes are at least partly clear from the very beginning of the analytical work, the orientation of the designs actually also determines the type of

Disrupted Brain Structure and Function in Alzheimer's Disease Patients With Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are highly prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aims to elucidate the neuropathological mechanisms underlying BPSD by investigating gray matter volume (GMV) and brain connectivity in AD patients with and without BPSD.

The Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion‐Tensor‐Imaging (DTI) and Structural MRI in the Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting older adults, with approximately 7.2 million cases only in the United States. This number is projected to increase to 13.8 million in the United States by 2060, leading to increased expenditures for healthcare, long‐term care and hospice services. Consequently,

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).

Brain Imaging Changes Following Deep Brain Stimulation Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Literature Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Structural brain changes, including atrophy in the midbrain, basal ganglia, and cortical regions such as the frontal and temporal lobes, are observed in advanced stages.

Patient‐Reported Feedback Suggests an Alternative Sweet Spot for Deep Brain Stimulation Programming in Essential Tremor

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
(1) To sample subjective patient rating using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), random stimulation parameters were presented to the study subjects. (2) Next, corresponding volumes of tissue activated (VTA) were generated and paired with VAS values.

Aberrant Beta‐Band Network Alteration Preceding Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating motor symptom observed in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD), characterized by an abrupt inability to initiate or continue forward walking. Whole‐brain functional connectivity analysis has shown promise in elucidating the underlying pathophysiology and identifying potential ...
