Journal ArticleDOI

Saccadic latency distributions in Parkinson’s disease and the effects of l -dopa

TL;DR: A novel effect of dopamine on saccadic latency, implying that it influences the neural decision process itself, is demonstrated, and the effects of l-dopa on neural decision making are discussed, where it is postulated to increase the criterion level of evidence required before the decision to move is made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation and migration of long term expanded human neural progenitors in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Human neural progenitor cells may provide a source of cells for use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and there was no significant behavioural recovery or effect of transplanted HNPCs on the loss of dopaminergic cells from the host brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes medications and risk of Parkinson's disease: a cohort study of patients with diabetes

TL;DR: A longitudinal study of approximately 100,000 patients with diabetes reveals a lower risk of incident Parkinson’s disease in those treated with GLP-1 mimetics or DPP-4 inhibitors compared to users of other oral antidiabetic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving Targeting in Image-Guided Frame-Based Deep Brain Stimulation

TL;DR: After calibration of a systematic targeting error an MR image-guided stereotactic approach would be expected to deliver 97% of all electrodes to within 2 mm of the intended target point with a single brain pass.
