Intrinsic Brain Activity Alterations in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment-to-Normal Reversion: A Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study From Voxel to Whole-Brain Level

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) reversion refers to patients with MCI who revert from MCI to a normal cognitive state. Exploring the underlying neuromechanism of MCI reverters may contribute to providing new insights into the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and developing therapeutic interventions. Information on patients with MCI and healthy controls (HCs) was collected from the […]

Inter- and Intra-Hemispheric Age-Related Remodeling in Visuo-Spatial Working Memory

Electroencephalography (EEG) studies investigating visuo-spatial working memory (vWM) in aging typically adopt an event-related potential (ERP) analysis approach that has shed light on the age-related changes during item retention and retrieval. However, this approach does not fully enable a detailed description of the time course of the neural dynamics related to aging. The most frequent […]

Colonic Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 Expression Is Increased and Associated With Disease Severity in Patients With Parkinson’s Disease

BackgroundMutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) comprise a common genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigated the expression of LRRK2 in colonic biopsies obtained from a cohort of PD patients and healthy controls.MethodsA cohort of 51 PD patients and 40 age- and gender-matched controls who have colonic […]
