Parkinson's disease patients are at increased risk of road traffic and car accidents and those with excessive daytime sleepiness are specially susceptible. Abnormal scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale predicts risk for driving-related somnolence which may cause road traffic accidents in driving patients as many such patients declare dozing of while in a car. Our study estimates that over 40% of patients with daytime somnolence have risks of dozing off in a car.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by two neurobiological markers: pathological α-synuclein and/or a dopaminergic deficit. Depression is common in PD, and may precede motor signs, particularly in late-onset depression (LOD). We conducted two systematic reviews and a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between depression and PD development.

Purpose: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter implicated in functions ranging from motor control to cognitive performance. In humans, dopaminergic markers have been associated with seasonal symptomatic fluctuations. Here we investigated potential seasonal variations in dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability in healthy adults using [C]PHNO positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests a link between the oral microbiome and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and behavioural impairments. The vast microbial reservoirs in the gut complement those of the oral cavity, suggesting a potential oral-gut-brain axis that may influence ASD and perhaps other neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. For the first time, this systematic review synthesises the current knowledge of oral microbiome composition, diversity, and functionality in ASD and its potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Background: The use of methamphetamine has continued to rise in the US. In addition to facilitating dopamine neurotransmission, methamphetamine indirectly increases glutamate release, which activates N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Ketamine is a noncompetitive NMDAR antagonist.
