Association between the Degree of Pre-Synaptic Dopaminergic Pathway Degeneration and Motor Unit Firing Behavior in Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Association between the Degree of Pre-Synaptic Dopaminergic Pathway Degeneration and Motor Unit Firing Behavior in Parkinson’s Disease Patients

The relationship between motor unit (MU) firing behavior and the severity of neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is not clear. This study aimed to elucidate the association between degeneration with dopaminergic pathways and MU firing behavior in people with PD. Fourteen females with PD (a...
