Imaging tools that allow quantification of Parkinson's disease (PD) progression could facilitate the development of disease-modifying therapies. Cross-sectional studies have shown presynaptic terminal...
The aim of this study was to longitudinally assess loss of presynaptic terminals in general and dopaminergic presynaptic terminals in particular as measures of disease progression in early PD....
A total of 27 patients with early PD and 18 age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent positron emission tomography (PET) with...
PD patients showed significant 2-year worsening of Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III) (off medication) scores, but no...
Opioid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that regulate activity within peripheral, subcortical and cortical circuits involved in pain, reward, and aversion processing. Opioid receptors...
Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) binds a selected set of mRNAs and proteins to guide neural circuit assembly and regulate synaptic plasticity. Loss of FMRP is responsible for Fragile X synd...
Degeneration of the presynaptic nigrostriatal dopaminergic system is one of the main biological features of Parkinson disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP),...
Retrospective cohort study of patients with DAT imaging for the investigation of a clinically uncertain parkinsonism with brain donation between 2010 and 2021 to the Queen Square Brain Bank (London). ...
All of 47 patients with PD, 41 of 42 with MSA, 68 of 73 with PSP, and 6 of 10 with CBD (sensitivity 100%, 97.6%, 93.2%, and 60%, respectively) had abnormal presynaptic dopaminergic imaging. Eight of 1...
DAT imaging has very high sensitivity and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of presynaptic dopaminergic parkinsonism, particularly for PD. However, patients with CBD, and to a lesser extent ...

Neuronal presynaptic terminals contain hundreds of neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles (SVs). The morphologically uniform SVs differ in their release competence segregating into functional pools...
Neurons emit axons, which form synapses, the fundamental unit of the nervous system. Neuroscientists use genetic anterograde tracing methods to label the synaptic output of specific neuronal subpopula...
Synapses containing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) constitute the primary centers for inhibitory neurotransmission in our nervous system. It is unclear how these synaptic structures form and align their p...
Properly working synapses are one important guarantor for a functional and healthy brain. They are small, densely packed structures, where information is transmitted through the release of neurotransm...
