Neuroimmune aspects of the pathogenesis of Tourette's syndrome and experience in the use of immunoglobulins in children.

30 Aug 2009 A total of 60 patients aged 6-16 years with tics and Tourette's syndrome were studied. Antibodies to caudate nucleus proteins were assayed by western blot hybridization. Ten patients with Tourette's syndrome were found to have antibodies to caudate ... Read more...

[Long-term efficacy of deep brain stimulation in patients with dystonia]

12 Aug 2009 In patients with primary generalized or segmental dystonia controlled studies have shown that bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) can reduce disability scores by 40 to 60 %. Up to now, the data base on the therapeutic effects of DBS in ... Read more...

Validation of decision-making models and analysis of decision variables in the rat basal ganglia.

3 Aug 2009 Reinforcement learning theory plays a key role in understanding the behavioral and neural mechanisms of choice behavior in animals and humans. Especially, intermediate variables of learning models estimated from behavioral data, such as the ... Read more...
