Parkinson's LRRK2-G2019S risk gene mutation drives sex-specific behavioral and cellular adaptations to chronic variable stress. Front Behav Neurosci 2024; 18:1445184. [PMID: 39328984 PMCID: PMC11425082 DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2024.1445184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Anxiety is a psychiatric non-motor symptom of Parkinson's that can appear in the prodromal period, prior to significant loss of midbrain dopamine neurons and motor symptoms. Parkinson's-related anxiety affects females more than males, despite the greater prevalence of Parkinson's in males. How stress, anxiety and Parkinson's are related and the basis for a sex-specific impact of stress in Parkinson's are not clear. We addressed this using young adult male and female mice carrying a G2019S knockin mutation of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (Lrrk2 G2019S) and Lrrk2 WT control mice. In humans, LRRK2 G2019S significantly elevates the risk of late-onset Parkinson's. To assess within-sex differences between Lrrk2 G2019S and control mice in stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors in young adulthood, we used a within-subject design whereby Lrrk2 G2019S and Lrrk2 WT control mice underwent tests of anxiety-like behaviors before (baseline) and following a 28 day (d) variable stress paradigm. There were no differences in behavioral measures between genotypes in males or females at baseline, indicating that the mutation alone does not produce anxiety-like responses. Following chronic stress, male Lrrk2 G2019S mice were affected similarly to male wildtypes except for novelty-suppressed feeding, where stress had no impact on Lrrk2 G2019S mice while significantly increasing latency to feed in Lrrk2 WT control mice. Female Lrrk2 G2019S mice were impacted by chronic stress similarly to wildtype females across all behavioral measures. Subsequent post-stress analyses compared cFos immunolabeling-based cellular activity patterns across several stress-relevant brain regions. The density of cFos-activated neurons across brain regions in both male and female Lrrk2 G2019S mice was generally lower compared to stressed Lrrk2 WT mice, except for the nucleus accumbens of male Lrrk2 G2019S mice, where cFos-labeled cell density was significantly higher than all other groups. Together, these data suggest that the Lrrk2 G2019S mutation differentially impacts anxiety-like behavioral responses to chronic stress in males and females that may reflect sex-specific adaptations observed in circuit activation patterns in some, but not all stress-related brain regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety is one of the most common but often overlooked mood-related nonmotor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). To improve the well-being of people with PD, it is important to understand the impact of anxiety in PD, especially its association with depressive and motor symptoms and its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS 91 people with PD were assessed between June 2017 and June 2018. Anxiety was measured using the Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) and its cognitive, somatic, and affective subscales. HRQoL was assessed using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39). Moreover, sociodemographic information, depressive symptoms, cognition, motor and nonmotor symptoms were assessed. Descriptive statistics, regression analyses, and path analyses were performed to understand predictors of anxiety and its influence on HRQoL. RESULTS Of the 91 people with PD, 35 (38.5%) experienced anxiety. Anxiety symptoms in these individuals primarily manifest as somatic sensations. Anxiety, motor, and depressive symptoms are interlinked but contribute individually to HRQoL. Beyond motor symptoms, cognitive and affective aspects of anxiety impact HRQoL. While anxiety and depression overlap, the somatic and cognitive aspects of anxiety play a significant role in determining HRQoL in addition to depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION Our study used the GAS and its three subscales to shed light on the connections between anxiety, depression, and motor impairment in people with PD. Although anxiety is linked to depression and motor symptoms, it independently affects the HRQoL of people with PD. Thus, it is crucial to adopt a comprehensive diagnostic approach that detects and considers the impact of anxiety on HRQoL in PD.

Abstract
Objective Anxiety symptoms are prevalent neuropsychiatric manifestations in Parkinson's disease (PD) and impact the development of motor complications. Our aim was to evaluate the association of GBA variants with the anxiety development in early PD cohort. Methods This cohort study used data from the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative. The primary outcome anxiety was assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The association between GBA and longitudinal change in the STAI total score was examined using linear mixed-effects model, and the association between GBA and anxiety progression was examined using Cox survival analysis. Results A total of 385 patients with PD were included in this study, 39 of them were GBA variant carriers and 346 were idiopathic PD without GBA variants. Patients with GBA variants had faster annual increase in anxiety score (β = 0.44; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.71; p < 0.001) and were at higher risk of anxiety progression (HR 1.87; 95% CI, 1.03 to 3.41; p = 0.03,). Higher baseline scores for Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), which indicated the autonomic dysfunction, also independently predicted faster increase in anxiety score (β = 0.48; 95%CI, 0.19 to 0.69; p < 0.001) and higher incidence of anxiety development (HR = 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.08; p = 0.008). Interpretation These findings suggest that longitudinal anxiety symptoms worsening was faster in PD patients who were GBA variant carriers and have dysautonomia, and this association was enhanced if they have both.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of non-motor features observed in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is often dominated by one or more symptoms belonging to the neuropsychiatric spectrum, such as cognitive impairment, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and apathy. Due to their high prevalence in people with PD (PwP) and their occurrence in every stage of the disease, from the prodromal to the advanced stage, it is not surprising that PD can be conceptualised as a complex neuropsychiatric disorder. Despite progress in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms in PD, and better identification and diagnosis of these symptoms, effective treatments are still a major unmet need. The impact of these symptoms on the quality of life of PwP and caregivers, as well as their contribution to the overall non-motor symptom burden can be greater than that of motor symptoms and require a personalised, holistic approach. In this chapter, we provide a general clinical overview of the major neuropsychiatric symptoms of PD.

Abstract
Histamine has long been accepted as a pro-cognitive agent. However, lines of evidence have suggested that the roles of histamine in learning and memory processes are much more complex than previously thought. When explained by the spatial perspectives, there are many contradictory results. However, using emotional memory perspectives, we suspect that the histaminergic system may interplay with stress, reward inhibition, and attention to modulate emotional memory formation. The functional diversity of histamine makes it a viable target for clinical management of neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we update the current knowledge about the functions of histamine in emotional memory and summarize the underlying molecular and neural circuit mechanisms. Finally, we review the main clinical studies about the impacts of histamine-related compounds on memory and discuss insights into future research on the roles of histamine in emotional memory. Despite the recent progress in histamine research, the histaminergic emotional memory circuits are poorly understood, and it is also worth verifying the functions of histamine receptors in a more spatiotemporally specific manner.

Abstract
Background Anxiety is one of the most common and disturbing non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, few studies have explored the relationship between functional connectivity (FC) and the rate of anxiety improvement after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the correlation between FC and the rate of anxiety improvement in patients with PD who underwent STN-DBS. Methods The resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data of 62 patients with anxious PD (aPD), 68 patients with PD without anxiety (naPD), and 64 healthy controls (HCs) were analyzed according to FC. Intergroup comparison and correlation analyses of anxiety improvement rates were performed. Results The HC, aPD and naPD groups of zFCs were then used for the ANOVA test, and the results were FDR-corrected. There were 24 significant differences in FCs between the three groups. Post tests were conducted between groups found that 15 significantly different FCs were observed between the naPD and aPD groups. In addition, the two FCs in patients with aPD were significantly correlated with the rate of improvement in anxiety. Conclusion We found that the two FCs in patients with aPD (olfactory cortex and inferior frontal gyrus [IFG] pars orbitalis; inferior temporal gyrus and posterior orbital gyrus) were significantly correlated with the rate of improvement in anxiety. Our study may help us understand the underlying mechanisms by which STN-DBS improves anxiety in PD patients and identify more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by alpha-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation in neurons or glial cells, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). αSyn-related pathology plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies leading to the progressive loss of neuronal populations in specific brain regions and the development of motor and non-motor symptoms. Anxiety is among the most frequent non-motor symptoms in patients with PD, but it remains underrecognized and undertreated, which significantly reduces the quality of life for patients. Anxiety is defined as a neuropsychiatric complication with characteristics such as nervousness, loss of concentration, and sweating due to the anticipation of impending danger. In patients with PD, neuropathology in the amygdala, a central region in the anxiety and fear circuitry, may contribute to the high prevalence of anxiety. Studies in animal models reported αSyn pathology in the amygdala together with alteration of anxiety or fear learning response. Therefore, understanding the progression, extent, and specifics of pathology in the anxiety and fear circuitry in synucleinopathies will suggest novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Here, we provide an overview of studies that address neuropsychiatric symptoms in synucleinopathies. We offer insights into anxiety and fear circuitry in animal models and the current implications for therapeutic intervention. In summary, it is apparent that anxiety is not a bystander symptom in these disorders but reflects early pathogenic mechanisms in the cortico-limbic system which may even contribute as a driver to disease progression.

Abstract
Anxiety is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with increased disability and reduced quality of life. However, anxiety is poorly understood, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. To date, little research has explored how anxiety is experienced by patients themselves. This study explored the experience of anxiety for people with Parkinson's (PWP) to inform future research and interventions. Semi-structured interviews with 22 PWP (aged 43-80, 50% female) were conducted and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Four main themes were extracted: conceptualising anxiety; anxiety and the body; anxiety and social identity; and coping with anxiety. Sub-themes revealed inconsistent perceptions: anxiety was in body and mind, part of disease and human nature, part of self-identity and a threat to it. The symptoms described were diverse. Many perceived their anxiety as more incapacitating than motor symptoms or capable of amplifying them, and described that anxiety restricted their lifestyle. All perceived anxiety as connected to PD, and ultimately persistent: dominant aspirations were coping and acceptance rather than cures, with medications strongly resisted. Findings highlight the complexity and high importance of anxiety for PWP. Implications for therapeutic approaches are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) reduces anxiety symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify changes in functional connectivity in the brain after CBT for anxiety in patients with PD. METHODS Thirty-five patients with PD and clinically significant anxiety were randomized over two groups: CBT plus clinical monitoring (10 CBT sessions) or clinical monitoring only (CMO). Changes in severity of anxiety symptoms were assessed with the Parkinson Anxiety Scale (PAS). Resting-state functional brain MRI was performed at baseline and after the intervention. Functional networks were extracted by an Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Functional connectivity (FC) changes between structures involved in the PD-related anxiety circuits, such as the fear circuit (involving limbic, frontal, and cingulate structures) and the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical limbic circuit, and both within and between functional networks were compared between groups and regressed with anxiety symptoms changes. RESULTS Compared to CMO, CBT reduced the FC between the right thalamus and the bilateral orbitofrontal cortices and increased the striato-frontal FC. CBT also increased the fronto-parietal FC within the central executive network (CEN) and between the CEN and the salience network. After CBT, improvement of PAS-score was associated with an increased striato-cingulate and parieto-temporal FC, and a decreased FC within the default-mode network and between the dorsal attentional network and the language network. CONCLUSION CBT in PD-patients improves anxiety symptoms and is associated with functional changes reversing the imbalance between PD-related anxiety circuits and reinforcing cognitive control on emotional processing.

Chang B, Mei J, Ni C, Xiong C, Chen P, Jiang M, Niu C. Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Anxiety Improvement after Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease. Brain Sci 2023; 13:brainsci13020219. [PMID: 36831762 PMCID: PMC9954104 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13020219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) represents one of the most frequently seen neurodegenerative disorders, while anxiety accounts for its non-motor symptom (NMS), and it has greatly affected the life quality of PD cases. Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) can effectively treat PD. This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for the anxiety improvement rate achieved in PD patients receiving STN-DBS. METHODS The present work retrospectively enrolled 103 PD cases undergoing STN-DBS. Patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery to analyze the improvement in HAMA scores. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to select factors affecting the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) improvement. A nomogram was established to predict the likelihood of achieving anxiety improvement. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curve analysis were conducted to verify nomogram performance. RESULTS The mean improvement in HAMA score was 23.9% in 103 patients; among them, 68.9% had improved anxiety, 25.2% had worsened (Preop) anxiety, and 5.8% had no significant change in anxiety. Education years, UPDRS-III preoperative score, and HAMA preoperative score were independent risk factors for anxiety improvement. The nomogram-predicted values were consistent with real probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, a nomogram is built in the present work for predicting anxiety improvement probability in PD patients 1 year after STN-DBS. The model is valuable for determining expected anxiety improvement in PD patients undergoing STN-DBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) affects both men and women with documented gender differences across functional domains, with findings varying among reports. Knowledge regarding gender differences in PD for different geographic locations is important for further understanding of the disease and for developing personalized gender-specific PD assessment tools and therapies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine gender differences in PD-related motor, motor-cognitive, cognitive, and psychosocial function in people with PD from the southern United States (US). METHODS 199 (127 men and 72 women; M age: 69.08±8.94) individuals with mild-moderate idiopathic PD (Hoehn &Yahr (H&Y) Median = 2, stages I-III) from a large metro area in the southeastern US were included in this retrospective, cross-sectional study. Motor, motor-cognitive, cognitive, and psychosocial data were obtained using standardized and validated clinical tests. Univariate analyses were performed, adjusting for age and housing type. RESULTS After adjustment for age, housing, PD duration and fall rate, men exhibited statistically significantly greater motor (Movement Disorders Society (MDS)-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-II) and non-motor (MDS-UPDRS-I) impact of PD, and more severe motor signs (MDS-UPDRS-III). Men exhibited worse PD-specific health-related quality of life related to mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, cognitive impairment, communication, and more depressive symptoms. Men performed worse on a subtraction working memory task. Women had slower fast gait speed. CONCLUSIONS In the southeastern United States, men may experience worse PD-related quality of life and more depression than women. Many non-motor and motor variables that are not PD specific show no differences between genders in this cohort. These findings can contribute to the development of gender-sensitive assessment and rehabilitation policies and protocols for people with PD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anxiety symptoms are the most common neuropsychiatric manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD), contributing to decreased quality of life. Few longitudinal studies in PD samples have examined correlates of anxiety symptoms over time. Understanding predictor variables may help to identify novel targets for reducing anxiety in PD. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of anxiety symptoms over 3 years in a clinic-based PD cohort. METHODS Our cohort included patients with PD at an academic medical center in the Southeastern United States (n = 105). Visits included assessment of motor, psychiatric, and cognitive features, including neuropsychological testing. For our multivariate model, we selected 11 predictor variables with the most existing evidence or theoretical support for an association with anxiety symptoms in PD. Multivariate linear mixed model regression was performed to determine which variables were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms over time. RESULTS Over half of participants (57%) met the screening threshold for an anxiety disorder at some point during the study. Independent predictors of anxiety symptoms over time included symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and dysautonomia. DISCUSSION In this PD sample, RBD and dysautonomia symptoms were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms over time. Each of these relationships has been reported in one of two prior longitudinal studies. Unlike prior studies, cognitive impairment was not a significant predictor of anxiety symptoms in our sample. Future research should confirm the direction and mechanisms underlying these relationships, including the potential for anxiety symptom reduction through treatment for RBD and dysautonomia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with Parkinson's disease (PD) are more likely to be hospitalized and initiate antidepressant use compared to people without PD. It is not known if hospitalization increases the risk of antidepressant initiation. We studied whether a recent hospitalization associates with antidepressant initiation in people with PD. METHODS A nested case-control study within the nationwide register-based FINPARK cohort which includes community-dwelling Finnish residents diagnosed with PD between years 1996 and 2015 (N = 22,189) was conducted. Initiation of antidepressant use after PD diagnosis was identified from Prescription Register with 1-year washout period (cases). One matched non-initiator control for each case was identified (N = 5492 age, sex, and time since PD diagnosis-matched case-control pairs). Hospitalizations within the 14 day-period preceding the antidepressant initiation were identified from the Care Register for Health Care. RESULTS The mean age at antidepressant initiation was 73.5 years with median time since PD diagnosis 2.9 years. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (48.1%) and mirtazapine (35.7%) were the most commonly initiated antidepressants. Recent hospitalization was more common among antidepressant initiators than non-initiators (48.3 and 14.3%, respectively) and was associated with antidepressant initiation also after adjusting for comorbidities and use of medications during the washout (adjusted OR, 95% CI 5.85, 5.20-6.59). The initiators also had longer hospitalizations than non-initiators. PD was the most common main discharge diagnosis among both initiators (54.6%) and non-initiators (28.8%). Discharge diagnoses of mental and behavioral disorders and dementia were more common among initiators. CONCLUSIONS Hospitalisation is an opportunity to identify and assess depressive symptoms, sleep disorders and pain, which may partially explain the association. Alternatively, the indication for antidepressant initiation may have led to hospitalisation, or hospitalisation to aggravation of, e.g., neuropsychiatric symptoms leading to antidepressant initiation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is often accompanied by disorders such as depression, psychotic disorders, cognitive disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, impulse control disorders. The aim of the study was to review the literature and present the characteristics of neuropsychiatric disorders occurring in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, with the specification of the above-mentioned disorders.
Material and method: The literature available on the PubMed platform from 1986 to 2022 was reviewed using the following keywords: Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive disorders, impulse control disorders. Original studies, reviews, meta-analyzes and internet sources were analyzed.
Results: The above-mentioned neuropsychiatric disorders appear with different frequency among people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and occur at different times of its duration or even precede its onset for many years. The non-motor symptoms in the form of depressed mood, energy loss or changes in the rhythm of the day may result in a delay of appropriate therapy and thus in complications. Neuropathological changes in the course of Parkinson’s disease as well as dopaminergic drugs used in its therapy influence the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Conclusions: In order to avoid misdiagnosis, practitioners should use, e.g. scales intended for patients with Parkinson’s disease. To prevent the consequences of the aforementioned disease entities, methods of early diagnosis, determination of risk factors and standardization of the treatment process must be determined. Consistent care for patients with Parkinson’s disease is significant, not only in the neurological field, but also in the psychiatric one.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, degenerative disease that affects nearly 10 million people worldwide. Hallmark limb motor signs and dopamine depletion have been well studied; however, few studies evaluating early stage, prodromal biology exist. Pink1-/- rats, a rodent model of PD mitochondrial dysfunction, exhibit early stage behavioral deficits, including vocal communication and anxiety, that progress during mid-to-late adulthood (6-12 months of age). Yet, the biological pathways and mechanisms that lead to prodromal dysfunction are not well understood. This study investigated the Pink1-/- rat in young adulthood (2 months of age). Mixed sex groups of Pink1-/- rats and wildtype (WT) controls were assayed for limb motor, anxiety, and vocal motor behaviors. A customized NanoString CodeSet, based on genetic work in later adulthood, was used to probe for the up regulation of genes involved in disease pathways and inflammation within the brainstem and vocal fold muscle. In summary, the data show sex- and genotype-differences in limb motor, anxiety, and vocal motor behaviors. Specifically, female Pink1-/- rats demonstrate less anxiety-like behavior compared to male Pink1-/- rats and female rats show increased locomotor activity compared to male rats. Pink1-/- rats also demonstrate prodromal ultrasonic vocalization dysfunction across all acoustic parameters and sex differences were present for intensity (loudness) and peak frequency. These data demonstrate a difference in phenotype in the Pink1-/- model. Tuba1c transcript level was identified as a key marker negatively correlated to ultrasonic vocalization at 2 months of age. Identifying genes, such as Tuba1c, may help determine early predictors of PD pathology in the Pink1-/- rat and serve as targets for future drug therapy studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis and treatment rate of Parkinson disease (PD) with depression has a low diagnostic rate, and there is no consensus on the choice of treatment mode. This study evaluates the global research trends of scientific outputs related to depression in PD from multiple perspectives, using a bibliometric analysis and visualization tool to scientifically analyze the knowledge from the literature. METHODS Literature related to depression in PD published from 2012 to 2021 was included and selected from the Web of Science Core Collection database in October 2021. CiteSpace software was used to visualize and analyze co-occurrence analyses for countries, institutions, authors, and keywords. RESULTS A total of 4533 articles from the Web of Science database were included. The United States made the largest contribution with the majority of publications (1215; 29.40%). Toronto University was the most productive institution. PD, depression, quality of life, dementia, nonmotor symptom, prevalence, anxiety, Alzheimer disease, symptom, and disorder would be significantly correlated with depression in PD. The current hot spots in this field focus on the following: risk factors for depression in PD, assessment scale of depression in PD, and rehabilitation of depression in PD. CONCLUSIONS This analysis not only reveals the current research trends and hotspots but also provides some instructive suggestions on the development of depression in PD.

Abstract
A relationship appears to exist between dysfunction of brain histamine (HA) and various neuropsychiatric brain disorders. The possible involvement of brain HA in neuropathology has gained attention recently, and its role in many (patho)physiological brain functions including memory, cognition, and sleep-wake cycle paved the way for further research on the etiology of several brain disorders. Histamine H3 receptor (H3R) evidenced in the brains of rodents and humans remains of special interest, given its unique position as a pre- and postsynaptic receptor, controlling the synthesis and release of HA as well as different other neurotransmitters in different brain regions, respectively. Despite several disappointing outcomes for several H3R antagonists/inverse agonists in clinical studies addressing their effectiveness in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and schizophrenia (SCH), numerous H3R antagonists/inverse agonists showed great potentials in modulating memory and cognition, mood, and sleep-wake cycle, thus suggesting its potential role in neurocognitive and neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, PD, SCH, narcolepsy, and major depression in preclinical rodent models. In this review, we present preclinical applications of selected H3R antagonists/inverse agonists and their pharmacological effects on cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, and sleep-wake cycle disorders. Collectively, the current review highlights the behavioral impact of developments of H3R antagonists/inverse agonists, aiming to further encourage researchers in the preclinical drug development field to profile the potential therapeutic role of novel antagonists/inverse agonists targeting histamine H3Rs.

Abstract
Non-motor symptoms are frequently observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and precede the onset of motor deficits by years. Among them, neuropsychiatric symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and apathy, are increasingly considered as a major challenge for patients with PD and their caregivers. We recently reported that mice lacking the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/c-Rel protein (c-rel–/– mice) develop an age-dependent PD-like pathology and phenotype characterized by the onset of non-motor symptoms, including constipation and hyposmia, starting at 2 months of age, and motor deficits at 18 months. To assess whether c-rel–/– mice also suffer from neuropsychiatric symptoms, in this study we tested different cohorts of wild-type (wt) and c-rel–/– mice at 3, 6, 12, and 18–20 months with different behavioral tests. Mice lacking c-Rel displayed anxiety and depressive-like behavior starting in the premotor phase at 12 months, as indicated by the analysis with the open field (OF) test and the forced swim test with water wheel (FST), respectively. A deficit in the goal-oriented nesting building test was detected at 18–20 months, suggesting apathetic behavior. Taken together, these results indicate that c-rel–/– mice recapitulate the onset and the progression of PD-related neuropsychiatric symptoms. Therefore, this animal model may represent a valuable tool to study the prodromal stage of PD and for testing new therapeutic strategies to alleviate neuropsychiatric symptoms.

[PMID: 35138047 PMCID: PMC8933778 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To improve understanding of gender differences on quality of life (QoL) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PWP) of a different race, the differences of clinical features and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between male and female PWP were studied in a small cohort early to middle stage of Chinese PWP. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out. PWP were consecutively included from April 2020 to July 2021 in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital. HRQoL, motor symptoms, and nonmotor symptoms in each patient were evaluated. The differences of demographic, motor symptoms assessments, nonmotor symptoms assessments, and QoL between two gender groups were tested using t-test statistics, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, or χ2 depending on the data type. To eliminate the possible factors contributing to the QoL, linear regression models were constructed to sort out the effect of gender. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-two Parkinson's disease (PD) patients were included. Demographic, clinical characteristics, and symptom scale assessments had no statistical differences except for levodopa equivalent daily dose, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Score, REM sleep behavior disorder sleep questionnaire, and Hyposmia Rating Scale score. After baseline imbalance corrections, a significantly higher score of PD Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) in female than in male patients(p<.05) was found. In the questionnaire, summary Index and bodily discomfort, stigma, and emotional well-being subscores were the main contribution differences. CONCLUSIONS Gender differences are associated with the QoL in the early to middle stage PWP in China. Female patients have poorer QoL than male patients, especially bodily discomfort, stigma, and emotional well-being.

Abstract
Objective: This review integrates literature to discuss the potential use of virtual reality (VR) in treatment of anxiety in Parkinson's disease (PD) and inform next steps.Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify studies of VR use in PD, using four databases. Data were reported in accordance to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyzes extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).Results: Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria with four VR studies from the same study group directly assessing the effects of anxiety on motor symptoms in PD. Primary studies implementing a VR protocol in PD identified focus areas of understanding and alleviating freezing of gait (FOG), balance training, and cognitive and motor rehabilitation, and informed design considerations.Conclusion: VR in PD studies suggested established feasibility. With appropriate design considerations, a VR based protocol could improve anxiety outcomes in PD.Clinical implications: VR in PD provides control of a patient's field of view, which can be exploited to induce specific responses, provide visual feedback, analysis of patient actions, and introduce safe challenges in the context of training. VR assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tailored to suit subtypes of anxiety disorders in PD have the potential to improve the efficacy and effectiveness of psychotherapy in PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) related anxiety, using high density electroencephalography (hd-EEG). METHODS 108 patients participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: with and without clinically relevant anxiety, according to their score on the Parkinson Anxiety Scale. Resting-state hd-EEG was recorded. Spectral and functional connectivity characteristics were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (31%) had significant anxiety symptoms. In the spectral analysis, relative power in the alpha1 frequency band in the right prefrontal cortex was lower in patients with anxiety than without. Functional connectivity analysis showed a stronger connectivity between the left insula and several regions of the right prefrontal cortex in patients with anxiety than in those without. CONCLUSION This study shows the pivotal role of the insula and frontal cortex in the pathophysiology of anxiety in PD and extends the results of previous studies using magnetic resonance imaging or positron emission tomography imaging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anxiety disorders occur in approximately one third of people with Parkinson's disease (PD), and have a major impact on patient and caregiver wellbeing. In order to better understand and diagnose anxiety in PD patients, we investigated the generalizability of the results of a previous factor analysis on anxiety symptoms to a sample of PD patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, anxiety symptoms were measured with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in 123 PD patients who were referred for neuropsychiatric diagnostics and treatment. Subscales of anxiety were analyzed through principal component analysis of BAI items. The associations between BAI subscales and symptoms of motor and cognitive function and depression were assessed through regression analyses. RESULTS Similar to the previous factor analysis, we found one psychological (affective) and four somatic subscales of anxiety in the BAI. The affective subscale was the principal component explaining 35.9% of the variance. The scores on the total BAI and the affective subscale were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. In a post-hoc analysis, the affective subscale had equal power as compared to the total BAI in predicting whether or not participants were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder after psychiatric evaluation. CONCLUSION In this study, we replicated our previous findings of one affective and multiple somatic subscales of the BAI. The 7-item affective subscale of the BAI shows potential as a screening tool for non-episodic anxiety in PD. However, in clinical practice, we recommend evaluating anxiety symptoms in the context of other PD symptoms, including motor, autonomic, and other (neuro)psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of the general population. OBJECTIVE We investigated the determinants of quality of life (QOL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Impacts of lifestyle changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic on 100 patients with PD and their caregivers/spouses were assessed. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression. The physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores of the short form (SF)-8 were used to evaluate health-related QOL. RESULTS Regarding health-related QOL, physical function, role physical, general health, vitality and the PCS score were significantly worse in PD patients than in caregivers. Worsening of PD-related symptoms, increased stress, and decreased physical activity were observed in 29.0%, 37.0% and 44.0% of PD patients, respectively. Sixteen patients (16.0%) experienced problems with hospital access, but none reported medication shortages. Strong concerns about COVID-19 were reported by 47.0% of caregivers and 50.0% of PD patients. In PD patients, increased gait disturbance and rigidity, disease severity, smoking, the levodopa equivalent dose and decreased body weight predicted a worse PCS score; anxiety, depression, female sex, stress and long disease duration predicted a worse MCS score. In caregivers, age and smoking contributed to a worse PCS score; depression, stress and worsening patient mood contributed to a worse MCS score. CONCLUSION We report the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on health-related QOL and its determinants in PD patients and their caregivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although prior research has established that freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with anxiety, only one study to date has directly manipulated anxiety levels to induce FOG. OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to replicate these previous findings and evaluate whether a seated version of a 'threat' virtual reality (VR) paradigm could induce anxiety and provoke FOG. METHODS Twenty-four PD patients with FOG were assessed across various threat conditions in both a walking VR paradigm (Experiment 1) and a seated VR paradigm (Experiment 2). Both paradigms manipulated the height (i.e., elevated vs ground) and width (wide vs narrow) of the planks participants were instructed to walk across. RESULTS Across both experiments, the Elevated + Narrow condition provoked significantly greater number of freezing episodes compared to all other conditions. Higher levels of self-reported anxiety were reported during the Elevated+Narrow condition compared to all other conditions in Experiment 1, and compared to the Ground condition in Experiment 2. CONCLUSION These findings confirm that anxiety contributes to FOG and validates the use of a seated VR threat paradigm for provoking anxiety-related freezing. This enables future studies to combine this paradigm with functional MRI to explore the neural correlates underlying the role of anxiety in FOG.

Abstract
Mood and anxiety disorders are the most common neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of lifetime and current anxiety disorders in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD), to explore possible distinctive neurological and psychiatric features associated with such comorbidity. One hundred patients were consecutively recruited at the Movement Disorders Section of the Neurological Outpatient Clinic of the University of Pisa. According to the MINI-Plus 5.0.0, 41 subjects were diagnosed with lifetime anxiety disorder (22 with panic disorder) and 26 were diagnosed with current anxiety disorders. Patients with anxiety disorders were more frequently characterized by psychiatric symptoms preceding PD, lifetime major depression and antidepressant treatments. They showed more anxious temperamental traits and scored higher at Parkinson Anxiety Scale (PAS) and persistent anxiety subscale. Current anxiety disorders were associated with more severe psychopathology, depressive symptomatology, and avoidant behavior. Among anxiety subtypes, patients with lifetime panic disorder showed higher rates of psychiatric symptoms before PD, lifetime unipolar depression, current psychiatric treatment, and a more severe psychopathology. Given the overall high impact of anxiety on patients' quality of life, clinicians should not underestimate the extent of different anxiety dimensions in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating neurological condition that includes both motor symptoms and nonmotor symptoms (NMS). Psychiatric complaints comprise NMS and are collectively referred to as neuropsychiatric manifestations. Common findings include atypical depressive symptoms, anxiety, psychosis, impulse control disorder, deterioration of cognition, and sleep disturbances. Quality of life (QoL) of patients suffering from NMS is greatly impacted and many times can be more debilitating than motor symptoms of PD. We expand on knowledge gained from treatment models within a comprehensive care model that incorporates multidisciplinary specialists working alongside psychiatrists to treat PD. Insight into background, clinical presentations, and treatment options for patients suffering from neuropsychiatric manifestations of PD are discussed. Identifying symptoms early can help improve QoL, provide early symptom relief, and can assist tailoring treatment plans that limit neuropsychiatric manifestations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety is a major complication in Parkinson's disease (PD). Many PD patients experience clinically significant anxiety not meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) anxiety disorder criteria. This atypical anxiety (anxiety disorder not otherwise specified [NOS]) is often under-recognized and its diagnosis is underdeveloped. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the demographic, psychiatric, and clinical characteristics of anxiety disorder NOS in PD. METHODS A cross-sectional design studied a convenience sample of 184 PD patients without dementia recruited from neurology outpatient clinics. A semi-structured interview using DSM-IV criteria categorized PD patients into current anxiety disorder NOS (n = 28), DSM-IV anxiety disorders (n = 42) or no anxiety (n = 86) groups. Logistic regression modeling identified characteristics associated with the anxiety disorder NOS group compared to DSM-IV anxiety and no anxiety groups. RESULTS The anxiety disorder NOS group was associated with motor complications of PD therapy, episodic, persistent and social anxiety symptoms, depression, non-motor experiences of daily living, poor quality of life, and female sex compared to the no anxiety group. Compared to DSM-IV anxiety, those with anxiety disorder NOS demonstrated greater global cognitive impairment, more severe motor complications of PD therapy, a greater severity and functional impact of dyskinesias, and greater complexity of motor fluctuations. Persistent, episodic, and social anxiety symptoms did not significantly differ between anxiety disorder NOS and DSM-IV anxiety groups. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PD-specific symptoms characterize anxiety in a subgroup of PD patients who do not fulfill DSM-IV criteria for anxiety disorders.

Progression of Nonmotor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease by Sex and Motor Laterality. PARKINSONS DISEASE 2021; 2021:8898887. [PMID: 33868631 PMCID: PMC8035033 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8898887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) can start up to a decade before motor manifestations and strongly correlate with the quality of life. Understanding patterns of NMS can provide clues to the incipient site of PD pathology. Our goal was to systematically characterize the progression of NMS in PD (n = 489), compared to healthy controls, HC (n = 241), based on the sex of the subjects and laterality of motor symptom onset. Additionally, NMS experienced at the onset of PD were also compared to subjects with scans without dopaminergic deficit, SWEDD (n = 81). The Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database was utilized to analyze several NMS scales. NMS experienced by PD and SWEDD cohorts were significantly higher than HC and both sex and laterality influenced several NMS scales at the onset of motor symptoms. Sex Differences. PD males experienced significant worsening of sexual, urinary, sleep, and cognitive functions compared to PD females. PD females reported significantly increased thermoregulatory dysfunction and anxious mood over 7 years and significantly more constipation during the first 4 years after PD onset. Laterality Differences. At onset, PD subjects with right-sided motor predominance reported significantly higher autonomic dysfunction. Subjects with left-sided motor predominance experienced significantly more anxious mood at onset which continued as Parkinson's progressed. In conclusion, males experienced increased NMS burden in Parkinson's disease. Laterality of motor symptoms did not significantly influence NMS progression, except anxious mood. We analyzed NMS in a large cohort of PD patients, and these data are valuable to improve PD patients' quality of life by therapeutically alleviating nonmotor symptoms.

Abstract
Human Wharton's jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hWJ-MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in improving the dopaminergic cells in the Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, the effects of hWJ-MSCs on hyperalgesia, anxiety deficiency and Pallidal local electroencephalogram (EEG) impairment, alone and combined with L-dopa, were examined in a rat model of PD. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: 1) sham, 2) PD, 3) PD + C (Cell therapy), 4) PD + C+D (Drug), and 5) PD + D. PD was induced by injection of 6-OHDA (16 μg/2 μl into medial forebrain bundle (MFB)). PD + C group received hWJ-MSCs (1 × 106 cells, intravenous (i.v.)) twice post PD induction. PD + C+D groups received hWJ-MSCs combined with L-Dopa/Carbidopa, (10/30 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)). PD + D group received L-Dopa/Carbidopa alone. Four months later, analgesia, anxiety-like behaviors, were evaluated and Pallidal local EEG was recorded. Level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) was measured in the striatum and dopaminergic neurons were counted in substantia nigra (SNc). According to data, MFB-lesioned rats showed hyperalgesia in tail flick, anxiety-like symptoms in cognitive tests, impairment of electrical power of pallidal local EEG as field potential, count of dopaminergic neurons in SNc and level of IGF-1 in striatum. These complications restored significantly by MSCs treatment (p < 0.001). Our findings confirm that chronic treatment with hWJ-MSC, alone and in combination with L-Dopa, improved nociception and cognitive deficit in PD rats which may be the result of increasing IGF-1 and protect the viability of dopaminergic neurons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review was (1) to identify the brain regions involved in anxiety in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on neuroimaging studies and (2) to interpret the findings against the background of dysfunction of the fear circuit and limbic cortico-striato-thalamocortical circuit. METHODS Studies assessing anxiety symptoms in PD patients and studies using magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, or single-photon emission computed tomography were included. RESULTS The severity of anxiety was associated with changes in the fear circuit and the cortico-striato-thalamocortical limbic circuit. In the fear circuit, a reduced gray-matter volume of the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC); an increased functional connectivity (FC) between the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and hippocampus and between the striatum and the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), temporal cortex, and insula; and a reduced FC between the lateral PFC and the OFC, hippocampus, and amygdala were reported. In the cortico-striato-thalamocortical limbic circuit, a reduced FC between the striatum and ACC; a reduced dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity in striatum, thalamus, and locus coeruleus; and a reduced serotoninergic activity in the thalamus were reported. CONCLUSION To conclude, anxiety is associated with structural and functional changes in both the hypothesized fear and the limbic cortico-striato-thalamocortical circuits. These circuits overlap and may well constitute parts of a more extensive pathway, of which different parts play different roles in anxiety. The neuropathology of PD may affect these circuits in different ways, explaining the high prevalence of anxiety in PD and also the associated cognitive, motor, and psychiatric symptoms. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the national prevalence of pharmacological treatment of affective disorders in older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD), and determine the prevalence and risk factors for receipt of an American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria® defined potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) for affective disorder treatment. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of 2014 Medicare data. SETTING Research Identifiable File data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. PARTICIPANTS Individuals ≥65 years of age with PD whose inpatient, outpatient, and prescription care is administered through the U.S. Medicare Program. MEASUREMENTS The 2014 prevalence of affective (i.e., depressive and anxiety) disorders was calculated. We assessed prescription fills for affective disorder treatment and classified prescriptions according to PIM status. Patient and clinician factors associated with PIM prescriptions were determined. RESULTS Of 84,323 beneficiaries with PD, 15.1% had prevalent depression only, 7.5% had anxiety only, and 8.5% had comorbid depression and anxiety. Among those with depression only, 80.7% were treated in 2014 (12.8% of treated received at least one PIM). The annual treatment prevalence was 62.9% (75.9% PIM) and 93.1% (63.9% PIM) in the anxiety only and comorbid group, respectively. In most groups, PIM use was less likely among men and those with dementia; geriatricians were less likely to prescribe PIMs. CONCLUSION Treatment of affective disorders in persons diagnosed with PD is high. PIM use is also common, particularly in persons with anxiety. Future research will quantify the potential effects of these PIMs on clinical and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Depression and anxiety are non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that are often overlooked and underrated. This study aimed to highlight the frequency and risk factors of depression and anxiety among subjects with PD.
Methods
Sixty-four patients with PD who were diagnosed according to United Kingdom Parkinson’s Disease Society (UKPDS) Brain Bank Criteria and 50 sex- and age-matched healthy control subjects are evaluated for depression and anxiety. PD severity and staging were assessed using Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr scale. Depression and anxiety were diagnosed using DSM-IV TR criteria and scored using Hamilton Depression and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scales (HAM-D and HAM-A). The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF was used to assess impact of depression and anxiety on quality of life.
Results
31.25% of patients with PD had depression while 40.6% of patients had anxiety disorder. Depression was higher in females and patients with history of depression and low socioeconomic status (SES). Anxiety was common in young patients and those who had history of anxiety. Overlap between depression and anxiety was recorded in 23.4%. Total UPDRS and Hoehn and Yahr scale accounted for 33.4% of variance for depression. Total UPDRS and earlier age of onset accounted for 39% of variance for anxiety. Advanced disease stage and severity were independent predictors for depression while disease severity and younger age of onset were the main predictors for anxiety. Depression and anxiety have a negative impact on the overall quality of life of PD patients especially on physical and psychosocial domains.
Conclusion
Depression and anxiety are relatively common in PD. Female gender, low SES, and history of depression were the main risk factors for developing depression. Young age and history of anxiety were risk factors for anxiety. Both had negative impact on quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). A link between anxiety and cognitive impairment in PD has been demonstrated. OBJECTIVES Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated intrinsic brain network connectivity correlates of anxiety symptoms in a cohort of drug-naive, cognitively unimpaired patients with PD. METHODS The intrinsic functional brain connectivity of 25 drug-naive, cognitively unimpaired PD patients with anxiety, 25 without anxiety, and 20 matched healthy controls was compared. All patients underwent a detailed behavioral and neuropsychological evaluation. Anxiety presence and severity were assessed using the Parkinson's Disease Anxiety Scale. Single-subject and group-level independent component analyses were used to investigate functional connectivity differences within and between the major resting-state networks. RESULTS Decreased connectivity within the default-mode and sensorimotor networks (SMN), increased connectivity within the executive-control network (ECN), and divergent connectivity measures within salience and frontoparietal networks (SN and FPN) were detected in PD patients with anxiety compared with those without anxiety. Moreover, patients with anxiety showed a disrupted inter-network connectivity between SN and SMN, ECN, and FPN. Anxiety severity was correlated with functional abnormalities within these networks. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that an abnormal intrinsic connectivity within and between the most reported large-scale networks may represent a potential neural correlate of anxiety symptoms in drug-naive PD patients even in the absence of clinically relevant cognitive impairment. We hypothesize that these specific cognitive and limbic network architecture changes may represent a potential biomarker of treatment response in clinical trials. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety is frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and has a negative impact on disease symptoms and quality of life. The underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify anatomical and functional changes associated to PD-related anxiety by comparing the volume, shape and texture of the amygdala, the cortical thickness as well as the functional connectivity (FC) of the fear circuit in patients with and without clinically relevant anxiety. METHODS Non-demented PD patients were recruited, and anxiety was quantified using the Parkinson Anxiety Scale. Structural MRI was used to compare cortical thickness and amygdala structure and resting-state functional MRI to compare FC patterns of the amygdala and resting-state functional networks in both groups. RESULTS We included 118 patients: 34 with (A+) and 84 without (A-) clinically relevant anxiety. Clusters of cortical thinning were identified in the bilateral fronto-cingulate and left parietal cortices of the A+ group. The texture and the shape of the left amygdala was different in the A+ group but the overall volume did not differ between groups. FC between the amygdala and the whole brain regions did not differ between groups. The internetwork resting-state FC was higher between the "fear circuit" and salience network in the A+ group. CONCLUSION Anxiety in PD induces structural modifications of the left amygdala, atrophy of the bilateral fronto-cingulate and the left parietal cortices, and a higher internetwork resting-state FC between the fear circuit and the salience network.

Abstract
Cognitive decline and mood symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). Reductions in striatal dopaminergic binding have been associated with worse cognition and mood. We investigated whether this association persists throughout the disease progression in newly diagnosed PD. Four-year data from Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) were used. Groups consisted of left and right limb dominantly affected PD patients, and controls. Longitudinal relationships between cognition, mood and striatal binding ratios were assessed by repeated measures correlations. Reduced binding was associated with general cognitive decline in controls, reduced processing speed and increased mood symptoms in PD. Anxiety was associated with striatum only in left limb dominantly affected PD. Dominantly affected limb side did not impact striatum and cognition association. There are longitudinal associations between striatum, processing speed and anxiety. Dopamine transporter availability imaging may have some prognostic value for cognition and mood in PD.

Abstract
Background Late-stage parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease (PD) are insufficiently studied population. Although neuropsychiatric symptoms (eg, psychosis, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems) are frequently present, their prevalence and clinical predictors remain unknown. Objective To determine the prevalence and predictors of neuropsychiatric symptoms in late-stage PD. Methods We conducted a multinational study of patients with PD with ≥7 years disease duration and either a Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥4 or a Schwab and England score ≤ 50% in the on stage. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were assessed through interviews with carers using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, with a frequency × severity score ≥ 4, indicating clinically relevant symptoms. The determinants analyzed were demographic characteristics, medication, and motor and nonmotor symptoms. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were performed on predictors of clinically relevant neuropsychiatric symptoms. Results A total of 625 patients were recruited in whom the Neuropsychiatric Inventory could be completed. In 92.2% (576/625) of the patients, at least 1 neuropsychiatric symptom was present, and 75.5% (472/625) had ≥1 clinically relevant symptom. The most common clinically relevant symptoms were apathy (n = 242; 38.9%), depression (n = 213; 34.5%), and anxiety (n = 148; 23.8%). The multivariate analysis revealed unique sets of predictors for each symptom, particularly the presence of other neuropsychiatric features, cognitive impairment, daytime sleepiness. Conclusion Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in late-stage PD. The strongest predictors are the presence of other neuropsychiatric symptoms. Clinicians involved in the care for patients with late-stage PD should be aware of these symptoms in this specific disease group and proactively explore other psychiatric comorbidities once a neuropsychiatric symptom is recognized.

Abstract
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no cure. Clinical presentation is characterized by postural instability, resting tremors, and gait problems that result from progressive loss of A9 dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been implicated as a risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, but the strongest evidence is linked to development of PD. Mild TBI (mTBI), is the most common and is defined by minimal, if any, loss of consciousness and the absence of significant observable damage to the brain tissue. mTBI is responsible for a 56% higher risk of developing PD in U.S. Veterans and the risk increases with severity of injury. While the mounting evidence from human studies suggests a link between TBI and PD, fundamental questions as to whether TBI nucleates PD pathology or accelerates PD pathology in vulnerable populations remains unanswered. Several promising lines of research point to inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and protein accumulation as potential mechanisms through which TBI can initiate or accelerate PD. Amyloid precursor protein (APP), alpha synuclein (α-syn), hyper-phosphorylated Tau, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), are some of the most frequently reported proteins upregulated following a TBI and are also closely linked to PD. Recently, upregulation of Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2), has been found in the brain of mice following a TBI. Subset of Rab proteins were identified as biological substrates of LRRK2, a protein also extensively linked to late onset PD. Inhibition of LRRK2 was found to be neuroprotective in PD and TBI models. The goal of this review is to survey current literature concerning the mechanistic overlap between TBI and PD with a particular focus on inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and aforementioned proteins. This review will also cover the application of rodent TBI models to further our understanding of the relationship between TBI and PD.

Abstract
Besides the hallmark motor symptoms (rest tremor, hypokinesia, rigidity, and postural instability), patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have non-motor symptoms, namely neuropsychiatric disorders. They are frequent and may influence the other symptoms of the disease. They have also a negative impact on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. In this article, we will describe the clinical manifestations of the main PD-related behavioral disorders (depression, anxiety disorders, apathy, psychosis, and impulse control disorders). We will also provide an overview of the clinical and preclinical literature regarding the underlying mechanisms with a focus on the role of the dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic systems.

Abstract
In a range of neurological conditions, including movement disorders, sex-related differences are emerging not only in brain anatomy and function, but also in pathogenesis, clinical features and response to treatment. In Parkinson disease (PD), for example, oestrogens can influence the severity of motor symptoms, whereas elevation of androgens can exacerbate tic disorders. Nevertheless, the real impact of sex differences in movement disorders remains under-recognized. In this article, we provide an up-to-date review of sex-related differences in PD and the most common hyperkinetic movement disorders, namely, essential tremor, dystonia, Huntington disease and other chorea syndromes, and Tourette syndrome and other chronic tic disorders. We highlight the most relevant clinical aspects of movement disorders that differ between men and women. Increased recognition of these differences and their impact on patient care could aid the development of tailored approaches to the management of movement disorders and enable the optimization of preclinical research and clinical studies.

Abstract
Anxiety is a severe problem for at least one-third of people living with Parkinson's disease (PD). Anxiety appears to have a greater adverse impact on quality of life than motor impairment. Despite its high prevalence and impact on daily life, anxiety is often undiagnosed and untreated. To better address anxiety in PD, future research must improve knowledge about the mechanism of anxiety in PD and address the lack of empirical evidence from clinical trials. In response to these challenges, the Parkinson's Foundation sponsored an expert meeting on anxiety on June 13th and 14th 2018. This paper summarizes the findings from that meeting informed by a review of the existing literature and discussions among patients, caregivers, and an international, clinician-scientist, expert panel working group. The goal is to provide recommendations to improve our understanding and treatment of anxiety in PD.

Abstract
Anxiety disorders represent 1 of the most common classes of psychiatric disorders. In the aging population and for patients with age-related pathology, the percentage of people suffering of anxiety is significantly elevated. Furthermore, anxiety carries with it an increased risk for a variety of age-related medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and increased severity of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. A variety of anxiolytic compounds are available but often carry with them disturbing side effects that impact quality of life. Among nonmedicinal approaches to reducing anxiety, odor diffusion and aromatherapy are the most popular. In this review, we highlight the emerging perspective that the use of odorants may reduce anxiety symptoms or at least potentiate the effect of other anxiolytic approaches and may serve as an alternative form of therapy to deal with anxiety symptoms. Such approaches may be particularly beneficial in aging populations with elevated risk for these disorders. We also discuss potential neural mechanisms underlying the anxiolytic effects of odorants based on work in animal models.

Abstract
Background and purpose The prevalence and duration of non‐motor symptoms (NMS) in prodromal Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and duration of prodromal NMS (pNMS) in a cohort of patients with recently diagnosed PD. Methods We evaluated the prevalence and duration of pNMS in patients with early PD (n = 154). NMS were screened for using the Non‐Motor Symptom Questionnaire (NMSQuest). We subtracted the duration of the presence of each individual NMS reported from the duration of the earliest motor symptom. NMS whose duration preceded the duration of motor symptoms were considered a pNMS. Individual pNMS were then grouped into relevant pNMS clusters based on the NMSQuest domains. Motor subtypes were defined as tremor dominant, postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD) and indeterminate type according to the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale revision. Results Prodromal NMS were experienced by 90.3% of patients with PD and the median number experienced was 4 (interquartile range, 2–7). A gender difference existed in the pNMS experienced, with males reporting more sexual dysfunction, forgetfulness and dream re‐enactment, whereas females reported more unexplained weight change and anxiety. There was a significant association between any prodromal gastrointestinal symptoms [odds ratio (OR), 2.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08–4.89, P = 0.03] and urinary symptoms (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.19–5.35, P = 0.016) and the PIGD phenotype. Further analysis revealed that total pNMS were not significantly associated with the PIGD phenotype (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.99–1.21, P = 0.068). Conclusions Prodromal NMS are common and a gender difference in pNMS experienced in prodromal PD may exist. The PIGD phenotype had a higher prevalence of prodromal gastrointestinal and urinary tract symptoms.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway, which leads to the cardinal motor symptoms of the disease - tremor, rigidity and postural instability. A number of non-motor symptoms are also associated with PD, including cognitive impairment, mood disturbances and dysfunction of gastrointestinal and autonomic systems. Current therapies provide symptomatic relief but do not halt the disease process, so there is an urgent need for preventative strategies. Lifestyle interventions such as aerobic exercise have shown potential to lower the risk of developing PD and to alleviate both motor and non-motor symptoms. However, there is a lack of large-scale randomised clinical trials that have employed exercise in PD patients. This review will focus on the evidence from studies on rodent models of PD, for employing exercise as an intervention for both motor and non-motor symptoms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dyspnea is one of the least well-characterized non-motor symptoms (NMS) associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of dyspnea in a large, single-center cohort of consecutive PD patients with no history of lung or heart disease, and to compare clinical features in dyspneic vs. non-dyspneic patients. METHODS Patients with abnormal cardiovascular and pulmonary results in a clinical examination were excluded. A positive response to at least one question ("In the last month, have you suffered from breathlessness?" and "In the last month, have you had trouble breathing normally?") was considered to signify the experience of dyspnea. MDS-UPDRS, global cognitive performance, non-motor symptoms and quality of life were assessed. RESULTS In the cohort of 153 non-demented PD patients (mean age ± standard deviation: 63.9 ± 7.4; mean disease duration: 9.2 ± 6.1 years), the mean [95% confidence interval (CI)] frequency of dyspnea was 39.2% (31.5-47). After adjustment for disease severity, PD patients with dyspnea had a significantly higher Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part I, II and IV scores, a higher HAD anxiety and depression scores and a significantly higher 8-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire. CONCLUSION Dyspnea is a frequent NMS in PD. Its pathophysiology and prognostic value need more investigation.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are prevalent in Parkinson disease (PD) yet underrecognized in clinical practice. Caregiver reports are frequently utilized to aid in the assessment of neuropsychiatric symptoms but little is known about caregivers' ability to recognize them in patients with PD. This study sought to examine the accuracy of caregiver reports. Eighty patient-caregiver dyads were involved. Accuracy of caregiver recognition was assessed by examining the level of agreement between caregiver ratings on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory and patients' diagnosis of depression and anxiety on the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)-Plus. The agreement between caregiver report and MINI-Plus diagnosis was low for both depression (6.3%) and anxiety (17.5%). The presence of depression was overreported, while anxiety was largely underestimated by caregivers. Caregiver distress significantly predicted inaccurate caregiver identification of depression ( R2 = .51, P < .001) and anxiety ( R2 = .08, P < .05). Results indicate that caregivers may be poor at recognizing depression and anxiety in patients with PD. Utilization of caregiver report should take into account potential biases that affect caregiver judgment.
