Neurotransmitter and receptor systems in the subthalamic nucleus

Brain Structure and Function, 2023
AbstractThe Subthalamic Nucleus (STh) is a lens-shaped subcortical structure located ventrally to the thalamus, that despite being embryologically derived from the diencephalon, is functionally implicated in the basal ganglia circuits. Because of this strict structural and functional relationship with the circuits of the basal ganglia, the STh is a ...

Diffusion MRI and α‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Status in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Positive α‐synuclein seed amplification assay (SAA) is a biomarker found in most people with Parkinson's disease (PD). We explored if free‐water (FW) imaging detects microstructural differences in the brains of patients with early PD with SAA+ or SAA– status.

Moving beyond neurophobia to cultivate the neuroquisitive learner

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract “Neurophobia,” a pervasive fear of the neurological sciences, poses a significant barrier in medical education, affecting learners and physicians worldwide. Its consequences are far‐reaching, contributing to a limited neurology workforce and diminished confidence among non‐specialists in managing neurological conditions.

Intestinal Levodopa/Carbidopa Infusion as a Therapeutic Option for Unresponsive Freezing of Gait after Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2020
Background. Treatment of freezing of gait (FOG) is always challenging because of its unpredictable nature and multifactorial physiopathology. Intestinal levodopa infusion has been proposed in recent years as a valuable option for its improvement.

Subthalamic nucleus high-frequency stimulation restores altered electrophysiological properties of cortical neurons in parkinsonian rat. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Electrophysiological recordings performed in parkinsonian patients and animal models have confirmed the occurrence of alterations in firing rate and pattern of basal ganglia neurons, but the outcome of these changes in thalamo-cortical networks remains ...

Dyskinesias and the subthalamic nucleus.

Annals of neurology, 2000
Severe dyskinesias or ballism can occur following hemorrhagic events in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), and it has recently been established that the STN plays a major role in the pathophysiology of the motor dysfunction of Parkinson's disease (PD) and that STN inhibition improves parkinsonian dysfunction.
