@TurkuBrainlab @kallejniemi Credit to the wonderful team, including @kallejniemi #JuhaSunikka #HamidSoltanian-Zadeh #EsmaelDavoodi-Bojd #ArmanRahmim @ValKaasinen @UniTurku @TyksAUCS @Tku_brain_mind @NeurocenterFI and, of course, #PPMI study investigators!.

@TurkuBrainlab @kallejniemi What does this finding mean — Compensatory mechanisms, interhemispheric connections, nondecussating pathways. ? Our data can’t address this question but would love to hear thoughts from fellow neuroscientists!.

@TurkuBrainlab @kallejniemi et al found that rest tremor correlates with increased ipsilateral striatal DAT binding, demonstrating that there is a link btw rest tremor and striatal dopamine (as expected). However, the laterality and direction of the association surprised us.

Of the cardinal motor symptoms, bradykinesia and rigidity correlate with contralateral striatal dopamine deficit, which aligns with levodopa response. This study @TurkuBrainlab was set out to study the association btw rest tremor and striatal DAT binding, leveraging the PPMI data.

Rest tremor is one of the cardinal motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and often responds to levodopa, but it does not seem to correlate with contralateral striatal dopamine deficit. ⁦@kallejniemi⁩ found something surprising. ⁦@MDJ_Journal⁩
