Nov 03, 2020
OBJECTIVES: Cognitive flexibility, which is key for adaptive decision-making, engages prefrontal cortex (PFC)-striatal circuitry and is impaired in both manifest and premanifest Huntington's disease (pre-HD). The aim of this...
An in vivo probabilistic atlas of the human locus coeruleus at ultra-high field.
Rong Ye, Catarina Rua, Claire O'Callaghan, P Simon Jones, Frank H Hezemans, Sanne S Kaalund, Kamen A Tsvetanov, Christopher T Rodgers, Guy Williams, Luca Passamonti, James B Rowe
Oct 20, 2020
Early and profound pathological changes are evident in the locus coeruleus (LC) in dementia and Parkinson's disease, with effects on arousal, attention, cognitive and motor control. The LC can be identified in vivo using...
Cognitive training for freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease
Courtney C Walton, Loren Mowszowski, Moran Gilat, Julie M Hall, Claire O'Callaghan, Alana J Muller, Matthew Georgiades, Jennifer YY Szeto, Kaylena A Ehgoetz Martens, James M Shine, Sharon L Naismith, Simon JG Lewis
Sep 05, 2018
The pathophysiological mechanism of freezing of gait (FoG) has been linked to executive dysfunction. Cognitive training (CT) is a non-pharmacological intervention which has been shown to improve executive functioning in...

Genetic and environmental risk factors for atherosclerosis regulate transcription of phosphatase and actin regulating gene PHACTR1.
Michael E Reschen, Da Lin, Anil Chalisey, Elizabeth J Soilleux, Christopher A O'Callaghan
Dec 17, 2018
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk is associated with non-coding genetic variants at the phosphatase and actin regulating protein 1(PHACTR1) gene locus. The PHACTR1 gene encodes an actin-binding protein with...
