Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Improves Kinetic Tremor in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although resting tremor is a characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), many patients also suffer from action tremor. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is effective in reducing motor symptoms. However, it is unclear to what extent STN‐DBS improves action tremor in PD, particularly kinetic tremor.

Antidepressant-like Effects of Garcinia nigrolineata Resin Extract in a Chronic Mild Stress Mouse Model: Modulation of Monoaminergic and HPA-Axis Pathways

Plants
The resin extract of Garcinia nigrolineata (GNR-E), a tropical plant used in Southeast Asian traditional medicine, was evaluated for its antidepressant-like effects in a chronic mild stress (CMS) mouse model, with imipramine as a reference drug.

Cardiac MIBG Scintigraphy in Neurodegenerative Parkinsonism: Limitations in Clinical Practice

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reduced cardiac uptake on 123Iodine‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy is a valuable tool for differentiating neurodegenerative parkinsonism but interpretation can be difficult due to comorbidities and drug‐tracer interactions.

Decreased Interleukin-4 Release from the Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus in Response to Immobilization Stress [PDF]

, 2016
It has been demonstrated that immobilization (IMO) stress affects neuroimmune systems followed by alterations of physiology and behavior. Interleukin-4 (IL-4), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is known to regulate inflammation caused by immune challenge ...

Quantitative Analysis of Locus Coeruleus Neurons and Thalamic Noradrenergic Axons in a Progressive 1‐Methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine Monkey Model of Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease is mainly characterized by dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and α‐synuclein accumulation. The locus coeruleus (LC) is also affected in Parkinson's disease and linked to some nonmotor symptoms, but the extent and timing of its degeneration remain unclear.

In Search of the Neurobiological Substrates for Social Playfulness in Mammalian Brains

, 2011
Play behavior is a fundamental and intrinsic neurobehavioral process in the mammalian brain. Using rough-and-tumble play in the juvenile rat as a model system to study mammalian playfulness, some of the relevant neurobiological substrates for this ...

Cannabinoid Receptor Involvement in Stress-Induced Cocaine Reinstatement: Potential Interaction with Noradrenergic Pathways [PDF]

, 2012
This study examined the role of endocannabinoid signaling in stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking and explored the interaction between noradrenergic and endocannabinergic systems in the process.

In Vivo Mapping of Catecholaminergic Loss and Iron Deposition in Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The pathophysiology of Huntington's disease (HD) remains obscure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal in vivo molecular changes related to disease pathology. Objectives To investigate catecholaminergic neuronal integrity and subcortical brain iron accumulation in HD employing neuromelanin‐sensitive MRI, and quantitative ...

From acute to chronic pain: tapentadol in the progressive stages of this disease entity [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Chronic pain is now recognized as a neural disease, which results from a maladaptive functional and structural transformation process occurring over time. In its chronic phase, pain is not just a symptom but also a disease entity.
