Educational attainment and motor burden in advanced Parkinson's disease – The emerging role of education in motor reserve

Reads0

TLDR
An inverse correlation between years of education and lower UPDRS -III motor score is found after adjusting for important covariables, suggesting education may lead to an increased ability to compensate disturbances in basal ganglia circuits affecting not only for cognitive, but also for motor aspects of PD.

Deep Learning Identifies Digital Biomarkers for Self-Reported Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: This study reports the top-performing smartphone-based method in the recent DREAM Parkinson's Disease Digital Biomarker Challenge for digital diagnosis of PD, using real-world accelerometer records, and paves the way for future at-home screening of PD and other neurodegenerative conditions affecting movement.

Identifying the Functional Brain Network of Motor Reserve in Early Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: This study explored the functional brain network associated with motor reserve in early‐stage PD and found individuals with greater motor reserve may have milder motor signs than their striatal dopamine loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging Concepts of Motor Reserve in Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: This review summarized a series of studies investigating MR in de novo patients with PD using the data of initial clinical presentation and dopamine transporter PET scan to hypothesized that the presence of motor reserve (MR) in PD explains the individual differences in motor deficits despite similar levels of striatal dopamine depletion.

Cognitive reserve in ageing and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Cognitive reserve provides an explanation for differences between individuals in susceptibility to age-related brain changes or pathology related to Alzheimer's disease, whereby some people can tolerate more of these changes than others and maintain function.

Cerebral white matter lesions, vascular risk factors, and cognitive function in a population‐based study The Rotterdam Study

TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence of white matter lesions and their relation with classic cardiovascular risk factors, thrombogenic factors, and cognitive function in an age and gender-stratified random sample from the general population were studied.

The neurobiology of brain and cognitive reserve: mental and physical activity as modulators of brain disorders.

TL;DR: Animal studies that have investigated the effects of modifying mental and physical activity via experimental manipulations are reviewed, and their relevance to brain and cognitive reserve (BCR) is discussed.

Risk factors for coronary heart disease and level of education the tromsø heart study

TL;DR: Adjustment of the relations between level of education and serum total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure for several variables reduced the strength of the associations, which, however, were still statistically significant.
