Here we argue functional neuroanatomy for posture-gait control. Multi-sensory information
such as somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensation act on various areas of the brain so …

Cardinal motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD) include bradykinesia, rest tremor, and
rigidity, which appear in the early stages of the disease and largely depend on …

Freezing of gait (FoG) is a unique and disabling clinical phenomenon characterised by brief
episodes of inability to step or by extremely short steps that typically occur on initiating gait …

Background The effects of levodopa on balance and gait function in people with Parkinson's
disease (PD) is controversial. This study compared the relative responsiveness to l‐dopa on …

Locomotion is a purposeful, goal‐directed behavior initiated by signals arising from either
volitional processing in the cerebral cortex or emotional processing in the limbic system …

The review demonstrates that control of posture and locomotion is provided by systems
across the caudal-to-rostral extent of the neuraxis. A common feature of the neuroanatomic …

Background This systematic review provides an overview of the literature deducing
information about brain activation during (1) imagined walking using MRI/fMRI or (2) during …

The cortical, cerebellar and brainstem BOLD-signal changes have been identified with fMRI
in humans during mental imagery of walking. In this study the whole brain activation and …

Gait disorders and postural instability, which are commonly observed in elderly patients with
Parkinson disease (PD), respond poorly to dopaminergic agents used to treat other …

The lateral part of the mesopontine tegmentum contains functionally important structures
involved in the control of posture and gait. Specifically, the mesencephalic locomotor region …
