- Typology of sexual disorders in idiopathic Parkinson's disease, a systematic reviewby Quentin Salardaine on November 4, 2024
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor impairments. However, non-motor symptoms are increasingly recognized and studied. Among these, sexual dysfunctions are common yet remain underexplored. This systematic literature review aims to examine the nature of sexual dysfunctions and their impact on sexual quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. We have demonstrated that sexual dysfunctions are prevalent among individuals with Parkinson's...
- Subthalamic stimulation causally modulates human voluntary decision-making to stay or goby Yichen Wang on November 3, 2024
The voluntary nature of decision-making is fundamental to human behavior. The subthalamic nucleus is important in reactive decision-making, but its role in voluntary decision-making remains unclear. We recorded from deep brain stimulation subthalamic electrodes time-locked with acute stimulation using a Go/Nogo task to assess voluntary action and inaction. Beta oscillations during voluntary decision-making were temporally dissociated from motor function. Parkinson's patients showed an inaction...
- DFC-Igloo: A dynamic functional connectome learning framework for identifying neurodevelopmental biomarkers in very preterm infantsby Junqi Wang on November 3, 2024
CONCLUSION: The identified markers correlate with cognitive and motor developmental outcomes, offering insights into early brain development and potential neurodevelopmental challenges.
- Recognition and characterising non-motor profile in early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD)by Karolina Poplawska-Domaszewicz on November 3, 2024
Early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) has been recently defined as a clinical entity with subjects presenting with Parkinson's disease (PD) between the ages of 21-50 and replaces the term Young Onset PD (YOPD). Presentations in this age group are somewhat different to the typical Late Onset sporadic PD (LOPD) and genetic basis may play an important role. The presentations are however, to be differentiated from other causes of juvenile onset or early onset parkinsonism, which are often driven by...
