Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate changes in brain activity related to light exposure in migraine patients and controls using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
- Ten migraine subjects and ten controls performed a finger-tapping task during two fMRI sessions, comparing conditions of light deprivation and light exposure.
- The results showed significant differences in brain activity between groups in certain brain areas, but light deprivation did not affect the fMRI activity in either group.
Objective: To identify the effect of levodopa in language areas in Parkinson's disease patients.
Methods: We evaluated 50 patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease, age and gender paired to 47 healthy volunteers. We selected two homogeneous groups of 18 patients taking levodopa and 7 no levodopa patients.
