Motor control abnormalities in Parkinson's disease.
The primary manifestations of Parkinson's disease are abnormalities of movement, including movement slowness, difficulties with gait and balance, and tremor. We know a considerable amount about the abnormalities of neuronal and muscle activity that correlate with these symptoms. Motor symptoms can also be described in terms of motor control, a level of description that explains how movement var...
متن کاملOcular motor abnormalities in Huntington's disease
We review here the eye movements in patients with Huntington's disease (HD), concentrating upon saccades as they show the most prominent abnormalities. Inability to suppress reflexive glances to suddenly appearing novel visual stimuli and delayed initiation of voluntary saccades, including predictive saccades, are early and consistent findings. These two abnormalities can be interpreted in the ...
متن کاملStriatal Dopamine Depletion Patterns and Early Non-Motor Burden in Parkinsons Disease
BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized that Parkinson patients with more non-motor symptoms have a different pattern of striatal dopamine depletion, particularly in areas other than the sensorimotor striatum, compared to those with fewer non-motor symptoms. METHODS We conducted a prospective sur...
متن کاملRebound excitability mediates motor abnormalities in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating disorder resulting from loss of dopamine neurons. In dopamine deficient state, the basal ganglia increases inhibitory synaptic outputs to the thalamus. This increased inhibition by the basal ganglia output is known to reduce firing rate of thalamic neurons that relay motor signals to the motor cortex. This 'rate model' suggests that the reduced excitab...
متن کاملPremotor Symptoms as Predictors of Outcome in Parkinsons Disease: A Case-Control Study
BACKGROUND To evaluate the association between the premotor symptoms and the prognosis of PD. METHODS A total of 1213 patients who were diagnosed of PD from January 2001 to December 2008 were selected from the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients were traced back to determine the presence of premotor symptoms, including rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD...
