Brain Imaging Phenotypes Associated with Polygenic Risk for Essential Tremor
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder with a strong genetic basis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly diffusion‐weighted MRI (dMRI) and T1 MRI, have been used to identify brain abnormalities of ET patients. However, the mechanisms by which genetic risk affects the brain to render individuals vulnerable to ET remain ...

Reduced cortical innervation of the subthalamic nucleus in MPTP-treated parkinsonian monkeys.
The striatum and the subthalamic nucleus are the main entry points for cortical information to the basal ganglia. Parkinson's disease affects not only the function, but also the morphological integrity of some of these inputs and their synaptic targets ...

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,

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia 27A (SCA27A) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by childhood‐onset tremor and progressive cerebellar dysfunction. SCA27A is usually caused by loss‐of‐function FGF14 variants. Objectives We report the identification of a novel FGF14 variant in a five‐generation family with autosomal dominant ...

Antero‐Lateral Subthalamic Nucleus Theta Stimulation Improves Verbal Fluency in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Objective Low‐frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been associated with positive effects on verbal fluency (VF) in patients with Parkinson's disease. This prospective study investigates stimulation direction‐dependent and site‐specific effects of theta frequency DBS on VF. Methods In a double‐blind, cross‐
