Functional Connectivity to the Cerebellum and Resting‐State Networks Predict Earlier Improvement of Dystonia Following Globus Pallidus Internus‐Deep Brain Stimulation (GPi‐DBS)

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Early improvement of dystonia after globus pallidus internus‐deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is associated with stimulation of the globus pallidus externus‐subthalamic nucleus (GPe‐STN) fibers and the lenticular fasciculus. Functional connectivity to the cerebellar cortex and the limbic and default mode networks predict early improvement of symptoms ...

International Registry of NKX2‐1‐Related Disorders: Clinical, Genetic, and Imaging Perspectives

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders result from heterozygous variants in NKX2‐1, a gene crucial for brain, lung, and thyroid development. Although movement disorders, hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress are recognized, the full phenotype and genotype–phenotype relationships remain incompletely defined.
