Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of the new Movement Disorder Society clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease applied retrospectively in a large cohort study of recent onset cases

TL;DR: Over 90% of cases clinically diagnosed as early PD fulfilled the MDS criteria for PD, and those not fulfilling criteria may have an atypical parkinsonian disorder or secondary parkinsonism that is not correctly identified by the UK Brain Bank criteria, but possibly by the new criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ropinirole, a dopamine agonist with high D3 affinity, reduces proactive inhibition: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy adults.

TL;DR: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 1 mg ropinirole (a dopamine agonist) on response inhibition in healthy volunteers found that whilst reactive inhibition was unchanged, proactive inhibition was impaired when participants were on ro pinirole relative to when on placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI

How Does Deep Brain Stimulation Change the Course of Parkinson's Disease?

TL;DR: There are signals from controlled long‐term observational studies suggesting that subthalamic DBS may delay some of the late‐stage disability milestones including psychosis, falls, and institutionalization, and also slightly prolongs survival compared with matched medically managed patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entraining stepping movements of Parkinson’s patients to alternating subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation

TL;DR: The study suggests that the STN is causally involved in dynamic control of step timing and motivates further exploration of this biomimetic stimulation pattern as a potential basis for the development of DBS strategies to ameliorate gait impairments.
