Excited to share a new paper where we performed an investigation of subcortical GM markers of conversion to freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. nature.com/articles/s4153… Truly grateful to my co-authors and the reviewers! @ChalaviSima @bwdijkstra @MoranGilat @AliceNieuwboer

Interested in Digital Mobility & Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's disease? Then we have an exciting project for you in the fantastic team of @AliceNieuwboer @KULeuvenPT kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

Our new paper shows promising effects of a single-session of split-belt treadmill walking on dual-task turning and walking in healthy elderly and people with Parkinson's - out in @FrontNeurol bit.ly/SBT-dual-task @janasth1 @GinisPieter @FHulzinga @AliceNieuwboer @KULeuvenPT

New paper showing that people with Parkinson's disease and Freezing of Gait improve adaptation after a single session of split-belt treadmill walking. Great collaboration with @janasth1, Christian Schlenstedt and Team @AliceNieuwboer @GinisPieter @FHulzinga @KULeuvenPT

We're preparing to release #fMRIPrep 20.2, which will be a long-term support (LTS) release. LTS means this version of fMRIPrep will be supported for five years, to provide a stable preprocessing base for long-running studies. 1/

Ons jaarlijkse #Bike4Parkinson evenement moet dit jaar vanwege COVID-19 helaas anders. Zie in mijn videoboodschap hoe mensen met #Parkinson, professionals, familie, vrienden en naasten dit jaar tòch samen voor het goede doel gaan fietsen, en hoe jij daar ook aan kan bijdragen!

People are excited about the many benefits of the so-called “Mediterranean diet”. But what is in fact a Mediterranean diet and how does it affect your brain? This blog can help. blog.donders.ru.nl/?p=12291&lang=… #MediterraneanDiet #brainfood #Diet #brain

Cilia et al. examine the effects of long-term levodopa on motor disability progression in the overnight OFF-state in #Parkinson's disease. Compared to natural progression, levodopa reduces annual decline in OFF-state UPDRS-III by almost one third. bit.ly/3e1A0hO

Recently published systematic review with meta-analysis of postural control functional neuroimaging studies shows the anterior cerebellum a consistent player, despite range of study methods. ow.ly/7du550ART4d

The Julich-Brain atlas—a virtual, 3D map of the complex cellular and structural architecture of the brain, provides a valuable and highly flexible tool for understanding human neurobiology, researchers report in Science. Learn more: ($) fcld.ly/qgg0i3o

Ever wondered how the human brain controls posture?? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️⏭ Check out our systematic review with ALE-meta analysis by @bwdijkstra and colleagues from @KULeuvenPT Spoiler alert: it's a #cerebellum story. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very happy that our systematic review with ALE meta-analysis on the neural control of posture is out now! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our review on the role of Virtual Reality in the research and rehabilitation of Parkinson's is now available @NatRevNeurol. A lot of potential wins to be gained still! With Prof Canning and co from @Sydney_Uni and @KULeuvenPT nature.com/articles/s4158…

@crisimmar @hessovalais Congratulations Christina!!

Very happy that recently our paper got published in @MDCP_Journal giving some important implications about the responsiveness of the NFOG-Q:"The New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire: Unsuitable as an Outcome in Clinical Trials?" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… @GinisPieter @AliceNieuwboer

Terugkijken: In de special over #Parkinson praten we o.a. met @Robdenijs zijn vrouw Henriëtte over Robs diagnose. Ernst Daniël Smid hield lange tijd zijn mond, maar vertelt bij #Pauw voor het eerst het verhaal over zijn Parkinsondiagnose. 👇 bnnvara.nl/pauw/videos/52…

Lancering DBS select door @HealthHouseBE, een interactief educatieplatform om potentiële diepe hersenstimulatie kandidaten over DBS te informeren.

Finally!! A free and open source software to visually score freezing of gait (FOG) from video. See my published article in @journal_PD - (content.iospress.com/articles/journ…) and download the FOG-scoring template and user guide for free from: morangilat.com

Great way to end #ispgr2019 @MoranGilat @demizoetewei @FHulzinga @GinisPieter A week full of very interesting research, learned a lot! Aim to be active on Twitter from now on too! #firsttweet

Our systematic review with exploratory ALE-meta analysis provides further support that PD patients rely on the cerebellar locomotor region to control their gait! @bwdijkstra, @profsimonlewis et al. rdcu.be/bHfUJ Implications for freezing? #Parkinsons #KULeuvenPT
