Main idea: Lower diffusivity along with the perivascular space, represented by lower ALPS-index, indicates impairment of the glymphatic system in PD patients. The correlation between elevated plasma nuclear DNA levels and lower ALPS-index supports the notion that PD patients may exhibit increased oxidative stress associated with glymphatic system microstructural alterations. Abstract  Parkinson’s disease (PD) is […]

Main idea: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve cognitive function in Parkinson’s disease patients. Abstract  To evaluate the effects and optimal parameters of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognition function of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to estimate which cognitive function may obtain more benefits from rTMS. The articles dealing with rTMS on […]

Main idea: the study confirms that sonification therapy (such as auditory paired associative stimulation) with and without physical exercises prevents Parkinson’s symptoms connected to motor activity. Abstract  Sonification is a sensory augmentation strategy whereby a sound is associated with and modulated by movement. Evidence suggests sonification could be a viable strategy to maximize learning and […]
