RESEARCH AREAS / KEY WORDS PET, MRI, Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, Huntington's Disease, Functional Imaging, Movement Disorder, Motor Control. ----------------------- http://www.hammersmithresearch.com/specialty/articles.asp?articleid=199 PET scanning Functional imaging studies are being performed with PET at the MRC Cyclotron Unit, and with MRS at the NMR Unit Hammersmith Hospital, (Professor DJ , Dr IH , Dr N Davey) designed to examine functional reorganisation after brain injury due to stroke, spinal trauma, and neurodegenerative disease. PET is also being used to examine the functional and pharmacological consequences of stereotactic surgery for movement disorders (Professor DJ , Dr P Bain, Mr T Aziz) and to determine whether transplantation of fetal tissue can restore basal ganglia and cortical function in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease (Professor DJ , Dr P Piccini). In parallel with these functional imaging studies, electrophysiological studies are being driven by Professor P Ellaway and Dr N Davey using transcranial magnetic stimulation and we are awaiting the outcome of a short-listed programme grant application to the International Spinal Research Trust to fund this work. The studies are also complemented by neurophysiological studies on eye and limb movement control funded by the Wellcome Trust (Professor C Kennard). PET is being used to objectively follow disease progression in Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Disease and to assess the functional effects of putative neuroprotective agents. It is also being applied to determine the pharmacological changes underlying involuntary movements such as levodopa-induced dyskinesias in PD and tardive dyskinesia (Professor DJ , Dr P Piccini). Using PET, Dr Banati and Professor DJ are examining the neuroinflammatory reaction present in patients with degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease in collaboration with Dr A Kennedy and patients with typical and atypical Parkinson's disease in collaboration with Professor C Mathias.
