TL;DR: Fatal familial insomnia is a prion disease with a mutation in codon 178 of the PrP gene, but the disease phenotype seems to differ from that of previously described kindreds with the same point mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatal familial insomnia and dysautonomia with selective degeneration of thalamic nuclei
Elio Lugaresi,R. Medori,Pasquale Montagna,Agostino Baruzzi,Pietro Cortelli,Alessandra Lugaresi,Paolo Tinuper,Marco Zucconi,Pierluigi Gambetti +8 more
TL;DR: The thalamus is affected in diffuse degenerative processes of the nervous system and it has not been established whether a genetically determined degenerative disease may be limited in patients with this organ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chiara La Morgia,Fred N. Ross-Cisneros,Yosef Koronyo,Jens Hannibal,Roberto Gallassi,Gaetano Cantalupo,Luisa Sambati,Billy X. Pan,Kevin R. Tozer,Piero Barboni,Federica Provini,Pietro Avanzini,Michele Carbonelli,Annalisa Pelosi,Helena C. Chui,Rocco Liguori,Agostino Baruzzi,Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui,Alfredo A. Sadun,Valerio Carelli +19 more
TL;DR: This work investigated mRGCs in AD, hypothesizing that they contribute to circadian dysfunction, and confirmed their role in photoreceptors driving circadian photoentraining.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin nerve α-synuclein deposits: A biomarker for idiopathic Parkinson disease
Vincenzo Donadio,Alex Incensi,V. Leta,Maria Pia Giannoccaro,Cesa Scaglione,Paolo Martinelli,Sabina Capellari,Patrizia Avoni,Agostino Baruzzi,Rocco Liguori +9 more
TL;DR: This study provides Class III evidence that the presence of phosphorylated &agr;-synuclein in skin nerve fibers on skin biopsy accurately distinguishes IPD from other forms of parkinsonism.
Journal ArticleDOI
