Background: To investigate the relationship between basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic activity, dopaminergic degeneration, white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), and their effects on clinical manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD).

Method: A total of 407 subjects who underwent 3‐T MRI, dopamine transporter (DAT) positron emission tomography, neuropsychological tests, and assessments for parkinsonism, cognitive fluctuation (CF), visual hallucination (VH), and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) were evaluated for probable AD, LBD, or both (AD+LBD). General linear models were used to investigate the relationships between BF volume (BFV), striatal DAT uptake, WMHs, and clinical manifestations after controlling for age, sex, education, vascular factors, and intracranial volume.

Background: This study set to determine if 123I‐ioflupane SPECT striatal binding ratio (SBR) correlated with parkinsonian symptoms measured on Movement Disorder Society – Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS‐III) in a dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) cohort and if SBR measured at baseline could predict progression of parkinsonian symptoms over 2 years.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using the U.S.

Background: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is an early and significant prodromal marker for Parkinson's disease (PD). While the association between RBD and PD has been well-documented, the underlying pathophysiology differentiating PD patients with RBD (PD-RBD +) from those without RBD (PD-RBD-) remained unclear. This study aims to investigate the possible relationship between RBD and striatal dopamine depletion in de novo PD patients.

Parkinson's disease is associated with the loss of more than 40% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. One of the therapeutic options for restoring striatal dopamine levels is the administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa). However, Parkinson's disease patients on long-term L-Dopa therapy often experience motor complications, such as dyskinesias.
