In patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) detection of pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) in olfactory mucosa (OM) is not as accurate other α-synucleinopathies. It unknown whether these variable results might be related to a different distribution α-syn OM. Thus, we investigated nasal swab (NS) performed areas coverage by neuroepithelium, such agger nasi (AN) and middle turbinate (MT), affect the α-syn.NS was 66 PD 29 non-PD between September...

Abstract INTRODUCTION We assessed TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) seeding activity and aggregates detection in olfactory mucosa of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration TDP‐43‐immunoreactive pathology (FTLD‐TDP) by TDP‐43 amplification assay (TDP43‐SAA) immunocytochemical analysis. METHODS The TDP43‐SAA was optimized using frontal cortex samples from 16 post mortem cases FTLD‐TDP, FTLD tau inclusions, controls. Subsequently, were collected 17 15 healthy controls, three carrying...

The Stroop effect is a well-documented phenomenon, demonstrating both interference and facilitation effects. Many versions of the task were created, according to purposes its applications, varying in numerous aspects. While many are developed investigate mechanisms itself, also considered general measure attention, inhibitory control, executive functions. In this paper, we implement “eStroop”: new digital version based on verbal responses, measuring main processes involved traditional...
