Neural transplantation can restore striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission in animal models
of Parkinson's disease. It has now been shown that mesencephalic dopamine neurons, …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with a loss of neurons from the midbrain. The cause
of PD is unknown, but it is established that certain neurotoxins can cause similar syndromes. …

Objective: To investigate gender differences in basic disease characteristics, motor deterioration
and nigrostriatal degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods: We studied 253 …

• By using stereotaxic surgical techniques, ventral mesencephalic tissues from aborted human
fetuses of 8 to 10 weeks' gestational age were implanted unilaterally into the striata in two …

• A group of healthy control subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease were investigated
using positron emission tomography and two tracers as indicators of different specific …

The modulating effects of serotonin on dopamine neurotransmission are not well understood,
particularly in acute psychotic states. Positron emission tomography was used to examine …

Patients with isolated rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) are commonly
regarded as being in the early stages of a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving α…

The differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative brain diseases on clinical grounds is difficult,
especially at an early disease stage. Several studies have found specific regional …

WITH the purpose of studying neural activation associated with reward processing in humans,
we measured regional cerebral blood flow in 10 right-handed healthy subjects performing …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by a slowly expanding degeneration of neurons
particularly in the mesencephalon. The causes are unknown although risk factors in the …
