Levodopa has a short plasma half-life, yet its long-duration response (LDR) can persist. In our study, LDR explained ~50% of the total levodopa effect, stayed stable for up to 10 years, was not linked to motor complications, and was associated with slower Parkinson’s disease progression.

Not all tremors are the same. Understanding the difference between physiologic and functional tremor is key to getting the right treatment and real relief. 🧠✋

@DoomsdaysCW Now, UI devs need to work on some of their elements that affect movement disorders.

A lot of websites are using features that if you click outside a popup, like for searching or filling out a form, the popup closes. A simple way to turn that off and provide an X or close button would do wonders. I love that Mastodon at least buffers that somewhat, esp if you are writing a post and accidently click which would lead you away from what you are working on

It's not just for people with the most widely known form of #MovementDisorders, like #Parkinsons, but all people as they age get tremors, dystonia, and ataxia, some just an annoyance, but others significant, as their damaged nervous system breaks down communication with their brains through the simple act of aging and lifestyle choices. #a11y .

Como siempre, terminando todo a última hora. Faltan unas horas para la clase que me invitaron a dar a los residentes de Nutri y aquí me tienen.

Revisando las diapositivas:
- Referencia a HHGTG, check
- Referencia a StarWars, check
- Referencia a StarTrek, check
- Info contacto en el fediverso, check.

Pues creo que ya quedó todo. A dormir un rato que mañana vamos a darle a la 100cia.

In the latest episode of The Parkinson's Research Podcast, I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha to talk about her work with the Women's Brain Project and the importance of considering sex and gender factors in Parkinson's disease research, policy, and healthcare.

Dr. Huw Morris has spent more than twenty five years researching Parkinson's disease and parkinsonian syndromes, and he shares highlights from recent work in this podcast episode, including studies on the genetics and pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and other parkinsonian syndromes.

"Distinct excitability of thalamocortical neurons correlates with the presence of cerebellar afferents"
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.26.542536v1

#Neuroscience #Electrophysiology #Cerebellum #Thalamocortical #MovementDisorders

#NewPaper #Neuroscience

Another cool #Anatomy paper on the connectivity between #BasalGanglia and the #Cerebellum

Here some quotes:

"Neural processing in the basal ganglia is critical for normal movement.
...
Many believe that the basal ganglia influence movement via thalamic projections to motor areas of the cerebral cortex and through projections to the cerebellum, which also projects to the motor cortex via the thalamus.
...
However, lesions that interrupt these thalamic pathways to the cortex have little effect on many movements, including limb movements.
...
In this report, we describe several brainstem pathways that connect basal ganglia output to the cerebellum via nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis (NRTP).
...
The basal ganglia could ... alter movements via descending projections of the cerebellum.
...
Pathways through NRTP ... may underlie deficits associated with basal ganglia disease."

I believe I should introduce myself: I'm a Doctor of #PhysicalTherapy and a PhD Student at #UniversityofWashington. My area of interest and research focus is in understanding #vestibular function in people with Parkinson disease.
My other research interests include the role of dopamine in the vestibular system, efferent vestibular function, and sensory processing for human postural control.

Figured I'd do another #introduction since I changed servers and lost all my posts :(

I'm a #neuroscientist with an interest in #striatum, #movementDisorders and #substanceUse. #electropgysiologist currently teaching #neuroscience and #biology to undergrads and #psychology to grad students.

Hobbies include #gaming (digital like #leagueOfLegends and #DarkSouls ) but also tabletop rpgs and #boardgames

Hi all! Looking to find more #neuro folks to share interesting discoveries and recent pubs.
