Journal ArticleDOI

The substantia nigra of the human brain. II. Patterns of loss of dopamine-containing neurons in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The spatiotemporal progression of neuronal loss related to disease duration can be drawn in the substantia nigra pars compacta for each Parkinson's disease patient: depletion begins in the main pocket (nigrosome 1) and then spreads to other nigrosomes and the matrix along rostral, medial and dorsal axes of progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutathione peroxidase, glial cells and Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The data suggest that in control brains, a low density of glutathione peroxidase-positive cells surround the dopaminergic neurons the most vulnerable to Parkinson's disease, and that in parkinsonian brains, the increased number ofglutathioneperoxidases protein-containing cells may contribute to protect neurons against pathological death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hallucinations, REM sleep, and Parkinson's disease: a medical hypothesis.

TL;DR: The visual hallucinations that coincide with daytime episodes of REM sleep in patients who also experience post-REM delusions at night may be dream imagery and Psychosis in patients with PD may reflect a narcolepsy-like REM sleep disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bilateral subthalamic or pallidal stimulation for Parkinson's disease affects neither memory nor executive functions: A consecutive series of 62 patients

TL;DR: It is concluded that stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus or internal globus pallidus does not change the overall cognitive performance in Parkinson's disease and does not greatly affect the functioning of subcorticofrontal loops involved in cognition in humans.
