Taipei Medical University Researchers Reveal New Findings on Essential Tremor (Cerebellar Structural and N-Acetylaspartate, Choline, and Creatine Metabolic Profiles in Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor).

Researchers from Taipei Medical University conducted a study on the role of the cerebellum in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, using MRI and MRS to analyze anatomical and metabolic differences. The study found similarities in cerebellar structures and metabolic profiles between essential tremor and Parkinson's disease with tremor, suggesting the need for advanced imaging techniques to differentiate between the two conditions. The research highlights the potential therapeutic target of the cerebellum in treating neurocircuitry of Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. [Extracted from the article]
