  4. 2. Antecedents of Cerebral Palsy in children born at term - according to subtype, motor severity and accompanying impairments

    Author : Kristina Ahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebral Pares; Risk factors; Epilepsy; Cognitive impairment; Spastic hemiplegia; Spastic diplegia; Spastic tetraplegia; Dyskinetic CP; Motor impairment; Accompanying impairments; Antecedents;

    Abstract : Aims: To explore antecedents of cerebral palsy (CP) according to subtype, severity of motor impairment and accompanying impairments (epilepsy and/or cognitive impairments) in relation to neuroimaging patterns. Material and methods: Case control studies were performed in a population-based serie of children with CP born at term (n=309), matched with a control group (n=618). READ MORE

  5. 3. Dopamine and the regulation of movements - significance of nigral and striatal dopamine release in normal, hemiparkinsonian and dyskinetic rats

    Author : Daniel Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : dopamine; substantia nigra; striatum; L-DOPA; dyskinesias; serotonin;

    Abstract : Introduction: The nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) containing neurones are a pivotal component in the basal ganglia, a network that regulates movement. Degeneration of these neurones causes the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). READ MORE

  6. 4. Presynaptic mechanisms in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

    Author : Hanna Lindgren; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; dyskinesia; 5-HT; DA; Parkinson s disease; 6-OHDA; microdialysis;

    Abstract : This study has investigated the impact of presynaptic factors on the development of dyskinesia during chronic L-DOPA treatment in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The mechanisms causing dyskinesia are not completely understood but have been proposed to involve changes in gene and protein expression in striatal neurons, which are the main target of dopamine (DA) projections from the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc).

  7. 5. Modelling parkinsonian akinesia and dyskinesia in dopamine depleted rodents

    Author : Martin Lundblad; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurology; mouse; rat; 6-OHDA; dyskinesia; Parkinson s disease; L-DOPA;

    Abstract : Animal models of Parkinson’s disease and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia are essential to explore pathophysiological hypotheses and to test new treatment options. There are many different animal models of Parkinson's disease, which differ greatly with respect to species, mechanisms of nigral cell death, and extent of dopamine-dependent motor deficits. READ MORE
