## Abstract Changing the strength of synaptic connections between neurons is widely assumed to be the mechanism by which memory traces are encoded and stored in the central nervous system. Plastic changes appear to follow a regional specialization and underlie the specific type of memory mediated b
## Abstract ## Background: Nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease are frequent and affect healthβrelated quality of life of patients. The severity and domains of nonmotor symptoms involved in Parkinson's disease and normal aging have not been compared before. ## Methods: We performed a prospec
Intrastriatal transplantation of dopaminergic neurones aims to repair the selective loss of nigrostriatal projections and the consequent dysfunction of striatocortical circuitries in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we have studied the effects of bilateral human embryonic dopaminergic grafts on the m
The basal ganglia (BG) are a highly organized network, where different parts are activated for specific functions and circumstances. The BG are involved in movement control, as well as associative learning, planning, working memory, and emotion. We concentrate on the ''motor circuit'' because it is
## Abstract Oxygen consumption and enzyme activity were evaluted in platelet mitochondria from 17 patients with Parkinson's disease. In comparison with ageβmatched controls, no consistent abnormality could be discerned in complex I, complex IIβIII, or complex IV oxygen consumption, or in the enzyme
