Brain-derived and in vitro-seeded alpha-synuclein fibrils exhibit distinct biophysical profiles
The alpha-synuclein (αSyn) seeding amplification assay (SAA) that allows the generation of disease-specific in vitro seeded fibrils (SAA fibrils) is used as a research tool to study the connection between the structure of αSyn fibrils, cellular seeding ...

Five-year follow-up of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in advanced Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background: Although the short-term benefits of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease have been well documented, the long-term outcomes of the procedure are unknown. Methods: We conducted a five-

Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring the Relationship
Background: There is longstanding controversy surrounding the possible link between essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Inconsistent and unreliable diagnostic criteria may in part account for some of the difficulties in defining the ...

Impulsive and Compulsive Behaviors in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Impulsive and compulsive behaviors (ICBs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions that may be caused by long-term dopaminergic replacement therapy (DRT) of Parkinson's disease (PD). The spectrum of ICBs includes dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS), punding, and impulse control disorders (ICDs).We made a detailed review regarding the epidemiology ...

Live Imaging of Axonal Transport in the Motor Neurons of Drosophila Larvae
Axonal transport, which is composed of microtubules, motor proteins and a variety of types of cargo, is a prominent feature of neurons. Monitoring these molecular dynamics is important to understand the biological processes of neurons as well as ...

Beyond the synucleinopathies: alpha synuclein as a driving force in neurodegenerative comorbidities
The fundamental role that alpha-synuclein (aSyn) plays in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy, is a well-accepted fact.
