Deep-Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a therapy used in conjunction with medication to help alleviate the motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, the monitoring and adjustment of DBS settings is tedious and expensive, requiring long…
Accurate assessment of Parkinsonian tremor is vital for monitoring disease progression and evaluating treatment efficacy. We introduce a pixel-based deep learning model designed to analyse postural tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) from…
Parkinson's disease is marked by altered and increased firing characteristics of pathological oscillations in the brain. In other words, it causes abnormal synchronous oscillations and suppression during neurological processing. In order to…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people around the globe. Many researchers are continuously working to understand PD and develop treatments to improve the condition of PD…
We present an artificial intelligence system to remotely assess the motor performance of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Participants performed a motor task (i.e., tapping fingers) in front of a webcam, and data from 250 global…
Mental disorders (MD) are among the top most demanding challenges in world-wide health. According to the World Health Organization, the burden of MDs continues to grow with significant impact on health and major social and human rights. A…
The study involved 56 patients with advanced and late stages of Parkinsons disease, which could be considered as potentially requiring neurosurgical treatment-electrical stimulation of deep brain structures. An algorithm has been developed…
Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) leverages symptom-related biomarkers to deliver personalized neuromodulation therapy, with the potential to improve treatment efficacy and reduce power consumption compared to conventional DBS.…
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has the potential to improve the quality of life of people with a variety of neurological diseases. A key challenge in DBS is in the placement of a stimulation electrode in the anatomical location that maximizes…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative condition of the nervous system, which manifests itself primarily as muscle stiffness, hypokinesia, bradykinesia, and tremor. In patients suffering from advanced stages of PD, Deep Brain…
Conventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia uses high-frequency regular electrical pulses to treat Parkinsonian motor symptoms and has a series of limitations. Relatively new and not yet clinically tested optogenetic…
The stage and severity of Parkinson's disease (PD) is an important factor to consider for taking effective therapeutic decisions. Although the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) provides an…
We study the statistical physics of a surprising phenomenon arising in large networks of excitable elements in response to noise: while at low noise, solutions remain in the vicinity of the resting state and large-noise solutions show…
At the group-level, deep brain stimulation leads to significant therapeutic benefit in a multitude of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. At the single-patient level, however, symptoms may sometimes persist despite "optimal"…
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder and affects people of all ages worldwide. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has emerged as an alternative treatment option when anti-epileptic drugs or resective surgery cannot lead to…
Parkinson's disease (PD) belongs to the class of neurodegenerative disorders that affect the central nervous system. It is usually defined as the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which causes both…
Perceived outcomes from DBS for PD were sampled for 52 cases by surveying 46 DBS recipients and 45 carers. Post-DBS experience ranged from 10-129 months. There were significant variations in perceived outcomes over time. In some cases…
Parkinsons disease (PD) alters cortical neural dynamics, yet reliable non-invasive electrophysiological biomarkers remain elusive. This study examined whether interpretable EEG features capturing complementary aspects of neural dynamics can…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by genetic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Predicting this disease early is challenging because it depends on traditional diagnostic methods that face…
The rapid emergence of highly adaptable and reusable artificial intelligence (AI) models is set to revolutionize the medical field, particularly in the diagnosis and management of Parkinson's disease (PD). Currently, there are no effective…
