Longitudinal changes in free-water within the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease

E Ofori, O Pasternak, PJ Planetta, H Li, RG Burciu… - Brain, 2015 - academic.oup.com
There is a clear need to develop non-invasive markers of substantia nigra progression in
Parkinson’s disease. We previously found elevated free-water levels in the substantia nigra for …

Free-water imaging in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism

PJ Planetta, E Ofori, O Pasternak, RG Burciu, P Shukla… - Brain, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Conventional single tensor diffusion analysis models have provided mixed findings in the

Increased free water in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease: a single-site and multi-site study

E Ofori, O Pasternak, PJ Planetta, R Burciu… - Neurobiology of …, 2015 - Elsevier
Measures from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging reflect changes in the substantia nigra

Diffusion tensor imaging of Parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonism, and essential tremor

J Prodoehl, H Li, PJ Planetta, CG Goetz… - Movement …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Diffusion tensor imaging could be useful in characterizing movement disorders because it
noninvasively examines multiple brain regions simultaneously. We report a multitarget …

Functional brain activity relates to 0–3 and 3–8 Hz force oscillations in essential tremor

KA Neely, AS Kurani, P Shukla, PJ Planetta… - Cerebral …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
It is well-established that during goal-directed motor tasks, patients with essential tremor have
increased oscillations in the 0–3 and 3–8 Hz bands. It remains unclear if these increased …

Segregated and overlapping neural circuits exist for the production of static and dynamic precision grip force

KA Neely, SA Coombes, PJ Planetta… - Human brain …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
A central topic in sensorimotor neuroscience is the static‐dynamic dichotomy that exists
throughout the nervous system. Previous work examining motor unit synchronization reports that …

Distinct patterns of brain activity in progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson's disease

RG Burciu, E Ofori, P Shukla, PJ Planetta… - Movement …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The basal ganglia‐thalamo‐cortical and cerebello‐thalamo‐cortical circuits are important

Increased REM sleep without atonia in Parkinson disease with freezing of gait

A Videnovic, C Marlin, L Alibiglou, PJ Planetta… - Neurology, 2013 - AAN Enterprises
Objective: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to test the hypothesis that patients
with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait (PD+FOG) would demonstrate sleep …
