Inhibition of PTPRS function does not affect the survival or regeneration of dopaminergic neurons but alters synaptic function in the nigrostriatal pathway by Joshua Peter, Kaejaren C.N. Caldwell, Lucas McClain, Jason Tchieu, Ashley E. Ross, Yu Luo

“…This study investigated whether Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Sigma (PTPRS), a known inhibitor of axonal growth through chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) interaction, plays a role in mDA neuron survival, function, and regeneration in PD. Our data show that inhibition of PTPRS using intracellular sigma peptide (ISP) enhances human mDA neuron neurite outgrowth in vitro, suggesting an inhibitory role of this receptor in the differentiation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived mDA neurons in vitro. …”

Differential resting-state functional connectivity patterns in functional movement disorders: Evidence for gait-disorder-specific aberrations by Carl Alexander Gless, Annemarie Reincke, Anne Weissbach, Christina Bolte, Johanna Geritz, Stephan Wolff, Christof Degen-Plöger, Oliver Granert, Christian Erdmann, Svea Seehafer, Philipp J. Koch, Alexander Münchau, Norbert Brüggemann, Kirsten E. Zeuner, Jos S. Becktepe

“…Methods: Thirty-eight FMD patients (9 with isolated gait disorders, 9 with combined gait and other motor symptoms, 20 with non-gait motor symptoms) and 20 healthy controls underwent resting-state functional MRI. Using seed-based connectivity analysis with eight bilateral regions of interest of the general, non FMD-specific motor network, we examined functional connectivity patterns across groups. …”
