    Description

    To test a low-cost system for obtaining continuous quantitative measurements of movements of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), investigators attached accelerometers to the upper and lower extremities of twenty patients with Parkinson’s disease, one patient with multiple system atrophy (MSA) (participant 4), and eight age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) who performed twelve tasks modified...

    Description

    Prior studies have linked dysfunction of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) to idiopathic autism spectrum disorder (IASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS). In this study, the investigators evaluated mGluR5 expression in participants with IASD, FXS, and typical development (TD) using positron emission tomography (PET). The Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders (IND) in New Haven, Connecticut enrolled...

    Description

    32 raters certified in the administration of the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) were presented with two sets of 40 quizzes containing five representations of the ratings of participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) with single sessions for the scoring of (A) output signals and FFTs and (B) CWTs (Pilot Test and Retest). Each panel consisted of six images...

    Description

    This study recruited 20 remote raters who were certified in the administration of the Movement Disorders Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). The objective was to determine the feasibility of a procedure for conducting sequential online motor assessments for one patient with Parkinson's disease. Each session followed the same protocol led by the principal...
