Objective: To explore associations of the main component (P100) of visual evoked potentials (VEP) to pre- and postchiasmatic damage in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: 31 patients (median EDSS: 2.5), 13 with previous optic neuritis (ON), and 31 healthy controls had VEP, optical coherence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Background And Objectives: Cognitive decline is an important and common complication in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) since it significantly reduces the quality of life. A breakthrough in treating and preventing cognitive decline in PD remains to be achieved. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of high-frequency and intensive multimodal training in improving motor and cognitive function.

Despite the high prevalence, anxiety symptoms in PD are often underdiagnosed and, therefore, undertreated. To date, functional and structural neuroimaging studies have contributed to our understanding of the motor and cognitive symptomatology of PD.

- The study examines how the reactivity of alpha rhythms in the brain changes when moving from eyes-closed to eyes-open conditions, specifically comparing patients with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD).
- Researchers analyzed data from 73 PDD patients, 35 ADD patients, and 25 healthy individuals, discovering that 88% of healthy participants showed significant reactivity compared to only 35% of PDD patients.
- The findings indicate that PDD patients have reduced ability to adjust their brain activity in response to visual stimuli, highlighting a potential neurophysiological marker that could be targeted in treatments aimed at improving attention in these patients.
