Check out our new paper in Brain Communications showing for the first time evidence of discordance between anterior vs posterior brain cholinergic vs blood flow dependence. Special kudos to Steve!

Our colleague Dr. Fay Pongmala has a new paper out how trunk flexion in people with Parkinson may negatively affect gait, in particular gait speed and step length. Check it out: https://t.co/iu8S5PI8sI

Our former PHD student Sygrid van der Zee has a new paper out from our lab showing that cholinergic integrity of a centrocingulate neural network is a robust predictor of cognitive impairment in people with PD. Check it out: https://t.co/heYA3vMWrw

Our new perspective paper on noninvasive cholinergic targets in Parkinson is out: https://t.co/Le4KYm3DTq There may also be cholinergic targets in the gut-brain axis.

Prabesh Kanel has a new paper out on cholinergic losses in PSP compared to Parkinson. Check it out:
https://t.co/l44jcsWsmH Differential PD vs PSP cholinergic vulnerability well extends beyond the tectum

This study provides new evidence that increased vestibular burden during multisensory postural control processing may be specific for freezing of gait rather than falls in Parkinson.

[Functional Neuroimaging, Cognitive & Mobility Lab @fNiCoMoLab]

Our new study shows that efficacy of vestibular processing during sensory conflict while standing is a determinant of abnormal balance in Parkinson's disease with lesser contributions of visual and somatosensory functions: https://t.co/b5YFCh99AR

Our new paper is out in JNT https://t.co/d7UOD04I2W
Cholinergic neural network correlates of #vestibular sensory conflict testing in people with #Parkinson including small brain nuclei, in particular the medial geniculate, that are important for freezing, falls and imbalance.

[Nico Bohnen MD @NicoBohnen]

@fNiCoMoLab Findings may give hope for persons with #Parkinson and balance and gait problems to start new studies boosting #acetycholine and the #vestibular system

Dr. Kanel’s recent work in #AgingBrain showing a specific topographic pattern of regional vulnerability of cholinergic nerve terminals across multiple cholinergic systems that accompany aging:

@fNiCoMoLab Dr Kanel's findings show that key cholinergic hubs of the cingulo-opercular neural network are vulnerable to the effects of apparent normal aging.
