Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbiota in Parkinson disease in a northern German cohort.
Franziska Hopfner,Axel Künstner,Axel Künstner,Stefanie H. Müller,Sven Künzel,Kirsten E. Zeuner,Nils G. Margraf,Günther Deuschl,John F. Baines,John F. Baines,Gregor Kuhlenbäumer +10 more
TL;DR: Whether Parkinson disease is associated with qualitative or quantitative changes in the gut microbiome is determined by next-generation-sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and diversity indices and bacterial abundances between cases and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of spatial discrimination in focal and generalized dystonia
TL;DR: Findings of altered sensory processing in idiopathic focal but not generalized DYT1 dySTONia suggest both a primary pathophysiological role for the phenomenon in focal dystonia and divergent pathophysiology processes in the two conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensory training for patients with focal hand dystonia.
Kirsten E. Zeuner,William Bara-Jimenez,Patricia S. Noguchi,Susanne R. Goldstein,James M. Dambrosia,Mark Hallett +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that training in braille reading improves deficits in spatial discrimination and decreases disability in patients with focal hand dystonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced tactile spatial acuity and cortical processing during acute hand deafferentation
Konrad J. Werhahn,Jennifer Mortensen,Robert W. Van Boven,Kirsten E. Zeuner,Leonardo G. Cohen +4 more
TL;DR: Rapid improvements in tactile spatial acuity and changes in cortical processing for the left hand during cutaneous anesthesia of the right hand are found and may represent a behavioral compensatory gain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The basal ganglia are hyperactive during the discrimination of tactile stimuli in writer's cramp.
M. Peller,Kirsten E. Zeuner,Alexander Münchau,Angelo Quartarone,M. M. Weiss,Arne Knutzen,Mark Hallett,Günther Deuschl,Hartwig R. Siebner +8 more
TL;DR: The enhanced response of the basal ganglia to tactile input from the affected hand is compatible with the concept of impaired centre-surround inhibition within the basal Ganglia-thalamic circuit and may lead to an excessive activation of sensorimotor cortical areas during skilled movements affected by dystonia.
