Dexmedetomidine improves functional activity of dopaminergic neurons in MPTP-treated mice
Preservation of functions in dopaminergic neurons is a potential medication strategy for Parkinson's disease (PD) during perioperative periods. An increasing number of studies have shown that Dexmedetomidine (DEX) plays a neuroprotective role in patients with neurological conditions. However, how DEX exerts its effects on dopaminergic neurons in PD remains unclear. In this research, we report that DEX enhanced the firing activity of dopaminergic neurons via activation of alpha2 (α2)...
Music-based intervention as a new therapeutic treatment for executive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease
Executive dysfunction is a prominent feature of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD), affecting approximately 42% of patients. Due to the lack of effective treatment options for the executive dysfunction, it may lead to more severe gait disorder, dementia and be difficult to recuperate. Current studies indicate that music-based intervention (MBI) is an innovative and vital treatment for executive dysfunction. This review aims to describe the ideas-MBI for treating executive...
