DOI: 10.1002/mds.26938
Abstract: In Parkinson's disease (PD), dopamine depletion causes major changes in the brain, resulting in the typical cardinal motor features of the disease. PD neuropathology has been restricted to postmortem examinations, which are limited to only… read more here.

Long‐Duration Response to Levodopa, Motor Learning, and Neuroplasticity in Early Parkinson's Disease
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Movement Disorders"
DOI: 10.1002/mds.29344
Abstract: Long‐duration response (LDR) to levodopa and motor learning could be involved in changes in neuroplasticity of cortical excitability in Parkinson's disease (PD). P300, motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and Bereitschaftspotential (BP) are neurophysiological surrogate markers of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00429-021-02451-0
Abstract: Implicit motor learning and memory involve complex cortical and subcortical networks. The induction of plasticity in these network components via non-invasive brain stimulation, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), has shown to improve motor learning.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2017.05.017
Abstract: Nicotine modulates cognition and neuroplasticity in smokers and non-smokers. A possible mechanism for its effect on learning and memory performance is its impact on long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). As neuroplasticity is closely… read more here.

Abstract: &NA; Synchrotron‐based X‐ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) of zinc (Zn) has been recently implemented to understand the efficiency of various therapeutic interventions targeting post‐stroke neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. However, it is uncertain if micro XFI can resolve… read more here.
