Upregulation of α-synuclein following immune activation: Possible trigger of Parkinson's disease
Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) has been suggested to have many functions including, vesicle transport in neurons, transcriptional regulator, modulator of immune cell maturation and response, and a role as an antimicrobial peptide.

Background: Fatigue is a common symptom in patients with Multiple system atrophy (MSA), but effective treatments remain elusive. The present study aims to investigate whether high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the ...

Autophagic dysregulation and lysosomal impairment have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, partly due to the identification of mutations in multiple genes involved in these pathways such as GBA, SNCA, ATP13a2 (also known as PARK9),

Case Report: Progressive Asymmetric Parkinsonism Secondary to CADASIL Without Dementia
Parkinsonism is a rare phenotype of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarction and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), all of which involve cognitive decline. Normal cognition has not been reported in previous disease studies.

Dopamine signaling negatively regulates striatal phosphorylation of Cdk5 at tyrosine 15 in mice.
Striatal functions depend on the activity balance between the dopamine and glutamate neurotransmissions. Glutamate inputs activate cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), which inhibits postsynaptic dopamine signaling by phosphorylating DARPP-32 (dopamine- and

Stability of MDS-UPDRS Motor Subtypes Over Three Years in Early Parkinson's Disease
Background: Various classifications have been proposed to subtype Parkinson's disease (PD) based on their motor phenotypes. However, the stability of these subtypes has not been properly evaluated.Objective: The goal of this study was to understand the ...

Aberrant functional connectivity within the basal ganglia of patients with Parkinson's disease
Resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) has been previously shown to be a promising tool for the assessment of early Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to assess whether changes within the basal ganglia network (BGN) are disease specific or relate to ...

Parkinson's disease dementia: a neural networks perspective. [PDF]
In the long-term, with progression of the illness, Parkinson's disease dementia affects up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease. With increasing life expectancy in western countries, Parkinson's disease dementia is set to become even more ...
