Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive parkin (PARK2) gene-related parkinsonism may be phenotypically and pathophysiologically distinct from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, asymptomatic subjects carrying a single parkin mutation ("parkin carriers") may show striatal dopaminergic dysfunction and increased cortical movement-related activation. Here, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study...
