TL;DR: This scale meets performance criteria for a brief, patient completed instrument that can be used to assess RLS severity for purposes of clinical assessment, research, or therapeutic trials and supports a finding that RLS is a relatively uniform disorder in which the severity of the basic symptoms is strongly related to their impact on the patient's life.

TL;DR: Curcumin was generally well-tolerated although three subjects on curcumin withdrew due to gastrointestinal symptoms, and preliminary data suggest limited bioavailability of this compound.

TL;DR: Using functional MRI, functional activity when performing a habit-learning task was compared in normal controls and subjects with Parkinson's disease, and patients with PD showed less activation in the caudate nucleus and greater activation in a region of prefrontal cortex that has been associated with explicit memory retrieval.

TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence, nature, and distribution of dystonic features were analyzed and correlated with other features of corticobasal degeneration, and the diagnosis of CBD was confirmed in all 4 patients who had autopsies.

TL;DR: In this evaluator‐blinded open‐treatment trial, subjects with moderate/severe upper limb essential tremor were titrated to 300 mg/day zonisamide, or adjusted to a lesser dose if symptoms warranted, as monotherapy or as adjunct to stable antitremor medication, followed by a 12‐week extension phase.
