Subregional analysis of striatum iron in Parkinson’s disease and rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder

The loss of dopamine in the striatum underlies motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is considered prodromal PD and has shown similar neural changes in the striatum. Alterations in brain iron …

Image Guidance in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery to Treat Parkinson's Disease:A Comprehensive Review

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy as an alternative to pharmaceutical treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD). Aside from factors such as instrumentation, treatment plans, and surgical protocols, the success of the procedure …

PAHs and star formation in the H II regions of nearby galaxies M83 and M33

We present mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of HII regions within star-forming galaxies M83 and M33. Their emission features are compared with Galactic and extragalactic regions, HII-type galaxies, starburst galaxies, and Seyfert/LINER type galaxies. Our …

Mid-infrared spectroscopy of the Andromeda galaxy

We present Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) 5–21 μm spectroscopic maps towards 12 regions in the Andromeda galaxy (M31). These regions include the nucleus, bulge, an active region in the star-forming ring and nine other regions chosen to cover a …
