Summary: This study used automated methods to analyze speech production on category and letter fluency tasks. The results showed that participants produced more words on the category fluency task compared to the letter fluency task. There were also differences between the tasks in several linguistic measures.

Summary: This study investigates the interval between diagnosis and DBS surgery in movement disorder patients based on gender. Most of the time, gender does not affect this interval, but in some specific cases, such as DBS referral for ET, there are gender disparities.

Summary: Resting-state functional connectivity MRI may predict motor response to subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation, with stronger connectivity between the left subthalamic nucleus and ipsilateral internal globus pallidus correlating with greater improvement in postsurgical motor outcomes. The integrity of pallidal-subthalamic nucleus circuits may be critical to motor benefits from deep brain stimulation.

Summary: Verbal fluency is an important cognitive task, and this study aimed to explore the neural and clinical correlates of verbal fluency in individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). The results showed that letter fluency was associated with language severity and the volume of frontal and temporal areas, while semantic fluency was associated with dementia severity and the volume of temporal areas. Clinical severity was found to play a critical role in explaining verbal fluency performance in PPA.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of high-frequency and low-frequency STN-DBS on spatiotemporal gait kinematics in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. It was found that high-frequency STN-DBS significantly improved trunk and lumbar kinematics.

Summary: STN-DBS has a long-lasting effect on motor complications in both male and female PD patients, but there may be slight differences in certain aspects that require further investigation.

Summary: Schizophrenia patients showed reduced left lateralization during CFT, potentially related to semantic deficits. The Chinese-CFT may be a more sensitive indicator of frontal-temporal dysfunction in schizophrenia.

Summary: This study examined the acute effects of STN-DBS on proactive interference (PI) and retroactive interference (RI) during verbal learning in Parkinson's disease patients. The results showed that stimulation increased PI but had no effect on RI, indicating a role of STN in inhibitory control during memory encoding or recall.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between uric acid levels and improvement of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. The results showed a non-linear correlation between uric acid levels and motor symptom improvement.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests that cognitive dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease may precede or accompany motor symptoms, particularly affecting action processing domain. Utilizing the action fluency test in investigating action processing in PD patients could potentially lead to interventions addressing both motor and communication skills to enhance quality of life.

Summary: In this study, the short-term effects of subthalamic nucleus deep-brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on beta-band cortical functional connectivity (FC) were investigated in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The results showed that PD patients exhibited widespread cortical hyperconnectivity in beta bands, and STN-DBS could acutely reduce beta FC primarily in cortical regions involved in basal ganglia-cortical circuits.

Summary: Comparing the efficacy maps of DBS and MRgFUS suggests a potential alternative location for lesioning, more antero-superiorly. This may reduce complications, without sacrificing efficacy, and individualise targeting.

Summary: This review discusses the application of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in various movement disorders and explores recent advances in the field. New DBS technologies, such as innovative stimulation patterns and adaptive DBS, have improved treatment outcomes. A better understanding of the pathophysiology and functional anatomy of movement disorders is crucial for studying the effects of DBS. Neurosurgical practice has also been enhanced, leading to more accurate targeting. A growing research domain focuses on the combination of neuromodulation and neuroprotection.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the longitudinal verbal fluency performance of Latinx Spanish speakers who developed Alzheimer's disease with those who did not, in terms of absolute number of words produced and the ratio between the two fluency tasks. The results showed that individuals who developed Alzheimer's disease demonstrated a linear decline in letter fluency and a faster and accelerating decline in semantic fluency. However, using the semantic index was not a superior marker for incident Alzheimer's disease compared to examining the two fluency scores individually.

Summary: A significant correlation was found between the distance of the DBS electrode pole to the c-DRTT and the clinical efficacy in reducing Parkinsonian tremor, suggesting that the c-DRTT plays a major role in the mechanisms of tremor reduction and may serve as a potential DBS target for tremor-dominant PD in the future.
