Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep - evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans [PDF]
Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding.

Progranulin Mutation Manifesting as Parkinson Disease: A Case Series from the PADUA‐CESNE Cohort
Abstract Background Mutations in progranulin (GRN) are associated with frontotemporal dementia, although a Parkinson disease (PD) phenotype is uncommon, especially in young patients. Cases We report three subjects from the PADUA‐CESNE cohort, meeting diagnostic criteria for PD, with onset under age 55.

Motor Cortex Disinhibition Correlates with Olfactory Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Motor cortex disinhibition, as measured by impaired short‐interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is a well‐established feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its substantial variability among patients remains unexplained, prompting questions about its origin, clinical relevance,

Cholinergic System Changes in Dopa‐Unresponsive Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating mobility disturbance that becomes increasingly resistant to dopaminergic pharmacotherapies with advancing Parkinson's disease (PD). The pathophysiology underlying the response of FoG to dopaminergic treatment is poorly understood.

Relationship between rapid eye-movement activity during nocturnal sleep and developmental quotient in infants with developmental disabilities [PDF]
-Rapid eye-movement (REM) activity during nocturnal sleep was investigated in 27 infants with developmental disabilities. A relationship was found between REM sleep degree of REM and developmental psychomotor function.

The Neurobiological Mechanisms and Treatments of REM Sleep Disturbances in Depression
Most depressed patients suffer from sleep abnormalities, which are one of the critical symptoms of depression. They are robust risk factors for the initiation and development of depression.

ABSTRACT Background Parkinson's disease (PD) varies widely across individuals in clinical manifestations and course of progression. Identification of distinct biological subtypes could explain this heterogeneity, identify its pathophysiology, and predict disease progression. Objectives Our aim was to compare longitudinal clinical trajectories and brain

The supramammillary nucleus and the claustrum activate the cortex during REM sleep
Plasticity and cortical activation during REM sleep is shown by a subset of cortical and hippocampal neurons. Evidence in humans suggests that limbic cortices are more active during rapid eye movement (REM or paradoxical) sleep than during waking, a ...

Identification of GGC Repeat Expansions in ZFHX3 among Chilean Movement Disorder Patients
Abstract Background Hereditary ataxias are genetically diverse, yet up to 75% remain undiagnosed due to technological and financial barriers. The GGC repeat expansion in ZFHX3, responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCA4), has only been described in individuals of Northern Europeandescent.
