CSF Biomarker‐Based Cognitive Trajectories in Parkinson's Disease‐Subjective Cognitive Decline
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive complaints without objective cognitive impairment in Parkinson's Disease, termed Parkinson's Disease‐Subjective Cognitive Decline (PD‐SCD), have been associated with cognitive decline. However, its progression is heterogeneous, highlighting the need for improved identification of patients at greater risk for deterioration ...

Freezing of Gait can persist after an acute levodopa challenge in Parkinson’s disease
Study objectives included testing whether presumed levodopa-unresponsive freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) actually persists in the presence of adequate dopaminergic dosing and to investigate whether the presence of other parkinsonian ...

Structural MRI Correlates of Episodic Memory Processes in Parkinson's Disease Without Mild Cognitive Impairment. [PDF]
BackgroundChanges in episodic memory are common early in Parkinson's disease (PD) and may be a risk factor for future cognitive decline. Although medial temporal lobe (MTL) memory and frontostriatal (FS) executive systems are thought to play different ...

Genetic Diversity and Expanded Phenotypes in Dystonia: Insights From Large‐Scale Exome Sequencing
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most prevalent movement disorders, characterized by significant clinical and etiological heterogeneity. Despite considerable heritability (~25%), the etiology in most patients remains elusive. Moreover, understanding correlations between clinical manifestations and genetic variants has become increasingly ...

Clinical Characteristics of Parkinsonism in HTLV‐1‐Associated Myelopathy
ABSTRACT Objective Human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1)‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is the classic neurological manifestation of HTLV‐1 infection; however, this virus has also been associated with other neurological disorders. Concurrent parkinsonism is relatively rare and presents diagnostic challenges.
