Chronic Monitoring and Longitudinal Efficacy of Neuromodulation for Neurological Movement Disorders
… understanding of the progression of neurological disorders. I design and implement a framework for monitoring the long-term effectiveness of deep brain stimulation. Using this framework we compare several aDBS algorithms for managing essential tremor symptoms. We also show that the beta band …

Molecular genetic characterization of ataxic movement disorders in mouse and human
… type 1 was identified to underlie a severe movement disorder in mice. The 18bp in frame deletion in Itpr1 exon 36 was shown to be allelic to that of another model, opisthotonos (Lane 1972). The Itpr1Δ18 mutation leads to a decreased to almost total lack in the normally high level of ITPR1 …

Neuroanatomical structural correlates of nonmotor symptoms in patients with movement disorders
In recent years, Impulse control disorders in PD patients have been explored by several studies but reported findings are not easy to summarize. Studies using neuropsychological and psychiatric extensive screening correlated with volume of brain region, are lacking. Thus, our present study aimed to …

IMAGING SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE WITH MR THERMOMETRY USING PARAMAGNETIC LANTHANIDE COMPLEXES AND IN VIVO GABA MR SPECTROSCOPY IN MOVEMENT DISORDERS
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular imaging modality due to its ability to provide excellent soft tissue contrast without exposure to ionizing radiation. It can be used for temperature monitoring (thermometry) as well as for assessing the biochemistry in vivo (MRS). This dissertation …

Psychometric validity for the Matson Evaluation of drug side effects and the akathisia rating of movement scale
Akathisia is a movement disorder characterized by a sense of restlessness and increased motor activity. Movement disorders are primarily an iatrogenic result of mediation use. In the case of akathisia, this syndrome is easily misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder. As a result, there is a need to …
