Wavelet-Based Bracketing, Time–Frequency Beta Burst Detection: New Insights in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s Disease Research Report: Beta Burst Behavior Analysis Using a Wavelet-Based Time-Frequency Detection Framework Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Recent studies have linked motor impairments in PD to excessive sy...

Gut-Induced Alpha-Synuclein and Tau Propagation Initiate Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease Co-Pathology and Behavior Impairments

Gastrointestinal-Induced Spread of α-Synuclein and Tau Proteins Triggers Comorbid Pathology and Behavioral Impairments in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are two common neurodegenerative disorders, caused by the aggregation of α-synuclein (a-syn) and Tau protein in the brain, res...

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: PD Generation, A North American Study

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: Comprehensive Report Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Research has shown that at least seven genes (LRRK2, GBA1, PRKN, SNCA, PINK1, PARK7, VPS35) are directly related to the occurr...

Long-term Dementia Risk in Parkinson Disease

Study on the Long-Term Risk of Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction. However, cognitive decline and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) are also significant non-motor symptoms of PD. Although dementia occurs in approximately 80% of PD p...

Pathologic Substrates of Structural Brain Network Resilience and Topology in Parkinson Disease Decedents

Scientific Paper News Report: Pathological Basis and Topological Properties of Structural Brain Networks in Parkinson’s Disease Patients Background and Research Objectives In Parkinson’s disease (PD), α-synuclein spreads between connected brain regions, leading to neuronal loss and brain network disruption. Using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), t...

Trend Change Analysis of Postural Balance in Parkinson’s Disease Discriminates Between Medication State

Analysis of Trend Changes in Static Balance of Parkinson’s Disease Patients to Distinguish Drug States Introduction Maintaining static body balance is crucial for daily living, which requires coordination between different body segments. Any change or decline in balance ability increases the risk of falling. Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) e...

Wearable Biofeedback Device to Assess Gait Features and Improve Gait Pattern in People with Parkinson’s Disease: A Case Series

Wearable Biofeedback Device to Assess Gait Features and Improve Gait Pattern in People with Parkinson’s Disease: A Case Series

Application of Wearable Biofeedback Device in Gait Assessment for Parkinson’s Disease Patients: A Case Series Study Research Background Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often exhibit abnormal gait patterns, severely affecting their independence and quality of life. Gait abnormalities primarily manifest as reduced stride length, increased step...

Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency Impairs Microglial Activation in Response to LPS-Induced Inflammation

Important Research Interpretation from “Journal of Neuroinflammation” 2024: The Impact of Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency on Microglial Activation Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Aging is the primary...

A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

Single-nucleus Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Age-related and Parkinson’s Disease-related Changes in Neuroglia in the Human Midbrain Research Background Age is a major risk factor for Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Although the significant role of age in PD onset is known, details about how age alters the gene expression and regulatory landscape of the br...

Auditory Cues Modulate the Short Timescale Dynamics of STN Activity During Stepping in Parkinson’s Disease

Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience gait impairments, which severely affect their quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that β-frequency (15-30 Hz) oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia may be associated with gait impairments, but the exact dynamics of these oscillations during the gait process remain unclear. Add...
