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: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
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: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Prabesh Kanel has a new paper out on cholinergic losses in PSP compared to Parkinson. Check it out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3622… Differential PD vs PSP cholinergic vulnerability well extends beyond the tectum
Our new perspective paper on noninvasive cholinergic targets in Parkinson is out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3620… There may also be cholinergic targets in the gut-brain axis.

Check out our new paper at movementdisorders.onlinelibr… 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.
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: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Recent work using 18F-FEOBV PET with our colleagues in @umichmedicine #neurology reveals a specific topographic pattern of regional vulnerability of cholinergic nerve terminals across multiple cholinergic systems in normal aging. Out now in #AgingBrain: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Dr. Bohnen’s latest review paper examining cholinergic changes in Parkinson’s disease
In their Review, Professor Nicolaas Bohnen and colleagues provide an update on cholinergic systems and changes in Parkinson's disease and isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder, a Parkinson's disease prodrome. thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
