Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Remapping of Cortico-striatal Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that dopamine depletion in PD leads to a remapping of cerebral connectivity that reduces the spatial segregation between different cortico-striatal loops, which underlie abnormal sensorimotor integration in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait-related cerebral alterations in patients with Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait.
A.H. Snijders,Inge Leunissen,Inge Leunissen,M. Bakker,M. Bakker,Sebastiaan Overeem,Rick C. Helmich,Rick C. Helmich,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Ivan Toni +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait have structural and functional alterations in the mesencephalic locomotor region, and these limitations might become particularly evident during challenging events that require precise regulation of step length and gait timing, such as turning or initiating walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral correlates of motor imagery of normal and precision gait.
M. Bakker,M. Bakker,F.P. de Lange,Rick C. Helmich,Rick C. Helmich,René Scheeringa,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Ivan Toni,Ivan Toni +8 more
TL;DR: The role of cortical structures outside primary motor regions in imagining locomotion movements when accurate foot positioning and increased postural control is required is emphasized, and MI was sensitive to the constraints imposed by a narrow walking path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinimetrics of freezing of gait.
TL;DR: Practical recommendations for a standardized clinical approach to the clinical assessment of freezing of gait, which must include cognitive testing and judgment of mood because of the tight interplay between FOG and mental functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor imagery of gait: a quantitative approach
TL;DR: A new experimental protocol to quantify imagery of gait, by behaviourally distinguishing it from visual imagery (VI) processes and by showing its temporal correspondence with actual gait is described, demonstrates a high temporal correspondence between imagined and AW, and suggests that MI taps into similar cerebral resources as those used duringactual gait.
