16. Magnetic resonance imaging techniques for diagnostics in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism
Sammanfattning : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by rigidity, hypokinesia, tremor and postural instability. PD is a clinical diagnosis based on neurological examination, patient history and treatment response. LÄS MER
17. L-DOPA-induced signaling pathways and neuroepigenetic mechanisms in experimental parkinsonism and dyskinesia
Sammanfattning : In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the restoration of depleted striatal dopamine by chronic administration of its precursor, L-DOPA, results in the emergence of debilitating involuntary movements. This complication, termed L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), represents a limitation to the most efficacious treatment for PD motor symptoms. LÄS MER
18. Models and biomarkers of motor and neuropsychiatric complications in Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by typicalmotor symptoms that are caused by severe dopamine depletion in the cortico-basalganglia network. Parkinsonian motor symptoms are improved by dopaminergicmedications, the most effective being the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. LÄS MER
19. The Biophysics of Na+,K+-ATPase in neuronal health and disease
Sammanfattning : Na+,K+-ATPase is one of the most important proteins in the mammalian cell. It creates sodium and potassium gradients which are fundamental for the membrane potential and sodium-dependent secondary active transport. LÄS MER
20. Early trauma/dysmorphogenesis and adult neurodysfunction in schizophrenia
Sammanfattning : To measure the importance of early neurodevelopmental disturbance for schizophrenia, early trauma and dysmorphogenesis (i.e. obstetric complications (OCs), minor physical anomalies (MPAs), head circumference (HC) and dermatoglyphic characteristics) were studied in relationship to adult neurodysfunction (i.e. LÄS MER
