Journal ArticleDOI

Levodopa-induced dyskinesias.

TL;DR: This review focuses on three issues related to Levodopa‐induced dyskinesia: clinical features, classification and rating, pathophysiology and pathogenesis, and management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amantadine for dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Results from the present study demonstrated that amantadine exhibited efficacious effects against dyskinesias in 60–70% of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

ERBB4 Mutations that Disrupt the Neuregulin-ErbB4 Pathway Cause Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Type 19

TL;DR: It is indicated that disruption of the neuregulin-ErbBB4 pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of ALS and potentially paves the way for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies such using NRGs or their agonists to upregulate ErbB4 functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phagocytic elimination of synapses by microglia during sleep.

TL;DR: It is suggested that microglia may eliminate presumably weak synapses during every sleep phase, and the circadian changes in concentrations of circulating glucocorticoids and brain NA might be correlated with thecircadian changes of microglial phenotypes and synaptic strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antinociceptive mechanism of l-DOPA

TL;DR: It is suggested that l‐DOPA relieves pain after conversion to dopamine, with the dopamine sedating pain transmission by way of the dopamine D2 receptor, which is antagonized by sulpiride, a D2 blocker, but not by SCH 23390, aD1 blocker.
