Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.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.

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: How general anesthesia causes loss of consciousness has been a mystery for decades. It is generally thought that arousal-related brain nuclei, including the locus coeruleus (LC), are involved.

When the Scale Drops: Pathways to Weight Loss in Parkinson's Disease and Future Directions
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is classically defined by its motor features, non‐motor symptoms exert a substantial and often under‐recognized influence on disease trajectory. Among these, weight loss has long been observed in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Increased opioid dependence in a mouse model of panic disorder
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 Panic disorder is a highly prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder that shows co-occurrence with substance abuse. Here, we demonstrate that TrkC, the high affinity receptor for neurotrophin-3, is a key molecule involved in panic disorder and opiate ...

A role for locus coeruleus in Parkinson tremor [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 We analyzed rest tremor, one of the etiologically most elusive hallmarks of Parkinson disease (PD), in 12 consecutive PD patients during a specific task activating the locus coeruleus (LC) to investigate a putative role of noradrenaline (NA) in tremor generation and suppression.

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) has been historically defined as a disease of striatal dopamine deficiency secondary to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, related to the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2022 There is clear, early noradrenergic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. This is likely secondary to pathological tau deposition in the locus coeruleus, the pontine nucleus that produces and releases noradrenaline, prior to involvement of cortical brain ...

The Locus Coeruleus in Chronic Pain
International Journal of Molecular SciencesPain perception is the consequence of a complex interplay between activation and inhibition. Noradrenergic pain modulation inhibits nociceptive transmission and pain perception. The main source of norepinephrine (NE) in the central nervous system is the Locus Coeruleus (LC), a small but complex cluster of cells in the pons.

Heterogenous Neuropathology in a Pedigree with RAB39B‐Related Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background In 2015, we reported a family with Parkinson's disease resulting from the RAB39B p.G192R (c.574G>A) variant. Since then, two affected brothers from the family have undergone autopsy. Objectives To characterize neuropathological findings, assess intracellular distribution of RAB39B protein, and examine the effect of p.G192R on α ...

Neural Plasticity, 2018 The use of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) as a method to augment neural activity has increased in popularity in the last decade and a half. The specific application of TES to the left prefrontal cortex has been shown to produce broad cognitive
