Check out Jeff's newest critical review of ketogenic interventions in neurodegeneration with significant implications for current & future clinical neurology practice: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Fay Pongmala from our lab as a new paper out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36566525/ Clinical assessment of self-efficacy is highly relevant to understand and treat PIGD motor features in Parkinson disease.

Check out our new paper in Brain Communications showing for the first time evidence of discordance between anterior vs posterior brain cholinergic vs blood flow dependence. Special kudos to Steve! academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv…

Our colleague Dr. Fay Pongmala has a new paper out how trunk flexion in people with Parkinson may negatively affect gait, in particular gait speed and step length. Check it out: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our former PHD student Sygrid van der Zee has a new paper out from our lab showing that cholinergic integrity of a centrocingulate neural network is a robust predictor of cognitive impairment in people with PD. Check it out: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Prabesh Kanel has a new paper out on cholinergic losses in PSP compared to Parkinson. Check it out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36222971/ Differential PD vs PSP cholinergic vulnerability well extends beyond the tectum

Our new perspective paper on noninvasive cholinergic targets in Parkinson is out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36204846/ There may also be cholinergic targets in the gut-brain axis.

Check out our new paper at …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md… This study provides new evidence that increased vestibular burden during multisensory postural control processing may be specific for freezing of gait rather than falls in Parkinson.

Our new study shows that efficacy of vestibular processing during sensory conflict while standing is a determinant of abnormal balance in Parkinson's disease with lesser contributions of visual and somatosensory functions: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
