Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders

Phil Lee, +606 more
- 12 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

GLUT1 mutations are a cause of paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesias and induce hemolytic anemia by a cation leak

Yvonne G. Weber, +28 more
- 02 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that the dyskinesias result from an exertion-induced energy deficit that may cause episodic dysfunction of the basal ganglia, and that the hemolysis with echinocytosis may result from alterations in intracellular electrolytes caused by a cation leak through mutant GLUT1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-lasting increase in corticospinal excitability after 1800 pulses of subthreshold 5 Hz repetitive TMS to the primary motor cortex.

Alexander Peinemann, +8 more
- 01 Jul 2004 - 
TL;DR: A single session of subthreshold 5 Hz rTMS to the M1 can induce a long-lasting and muscle-specific increase in resting corticospinal excitability, however, a sufficient number of conditioning stimuli is necessary to produce persistent cortICospinal facilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Connectivity of Human Premotor and Motor Cortex Explored with Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Alexander Münchau, +4 more
- 15 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test whether premotor activation can affect the excitability of the primary motor cortex (M1) itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

The phenotypic spectrum of rapid-onset dystonia–parkinsonism (RDP) and mutations in the ATP1A3 gene

Allison Brashear, +19 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: In comparing ATP1A3 mutation positive and negative patients, it is found that tremor at onset of symptoms, a reversed rostrocaudal gradient, and significant limb pain exclude a diagnosis of RDP.
