Cortical-Basal Ganglia Speech Networks
In this research study the researchers want to learn more about brain activity related to speech perception and production.
Oscillatory Activity in Basal Ganglia Circuits During Normal and Pathological Movement
The expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms is accompanied by pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity in this cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. The purpose of this research is to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in two pathologies emblematic of hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease) and hyperkinetic (epilepsies) …
Understanding Motivation in Parkinson's Patients Through Neurophysiology
The study aims to better understand motivation and value-based decision-making in Parkinson's patients through neurophysiology using Medtronic's Percept DBS device. By combining behavioral tasks with neural recordings, the study seeks to uncover how DBS affects motivation, particularly in relation to effort, reward, and timing.
Use of CereGate Therapy for Freezing of Gait in PD
A Multi-Center, Controlled Study to Evaluate Use of CereGate Therapy to Reduce Freezing of Gait in Participants Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background \- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate …
Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation
This research study aims to identify MRI-based brain biomarkers that predict an individual's response to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). In particular, this study will focus on changes in cognition associated with DBS. A total of 55 participants with Parkinson's Disease planning to undergo DBS will be recruited from MUSCs Clinical …
Study to Investigate Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Augment Executive Function in Healthy and Cognitively Impaired Populations
This study plans to learn more about how stimulating the vagus nerve through gentle electrical stimulation applied to the ear can affect decision-making, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities. This process, called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), could help improve brain function in both healthy individuals and people with Parkinson's …
Auditory Sleep Stimulation or Sham in People With Parkinson Disease Mild Cognitive Impairment During Cognitive Training
People with Parkinson's disease are at higher risk of cognitive decline, and current treatments cannot fully prevent this. This study explores non-drug ways to support brain function. Intervention: Participants will complete a 5-week cognitive training program at home ("brain fitness"). In addition, they will use a sleep device at night …
Superior Parietal iTBS for PD-MCI
The goal of this study is to determine the whether a short-term, high-dose form of non-invasive brain stimulation (intermittent theta burst stimulation; iTBS) is a promising and safe treatment for mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI).
Test-retest Trial With [11C]MODAG-005 in PD or MSA and AMHC - Pilot Phase
This is an open-label, single-center Phase 1 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and test-retest characteristics of \[11C\]MODAG-005, an investigational positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radioligand intended to image pathological alpha-synuclein deposition in the brain. The study will enroll participants with Parkinson's disease (PD), participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and …
