For short report on recruiting and data collection in individual WPs as well as annotations of the articles please see the Technical report.
WP1:
As part of this WP, 5 deliverables were submitted altogether, we developed and tested an fMRI protocol to assess the reading and spelling of words and non-words. Three manuscripts are in preparation and are expected to be submitted in 2022.
In prep.: The functional neuroanatomy of reading in Czech: evidence for a dual-route processing architecture in a shallow orthography by Bartoň M., et al.
Preliminary data has been presented at conferences for example: Bartoň et al. (2018). 21-Brain network activity during reading and writing of Czech words and nonwords. Clinical Neurophysiology
In prep.: Manuscript by Bartoň, et al.
Preliminary data has been presented at Course on Cognitive impairment and dementia, fMRI course and workshop XVI in 2019
In prep.: Kovac, et al.
Results of this work were already presented: Kovac, D., et al. (2021, July). Multilingual Analysis of Speech and Voice Disorders in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease. 44th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing
WP2:
As part of this WP, 11 deliverables were submitted altogether; we developed and tested a short speech task protocol in Czech, English, and Hungarian. Four publications are relevant to this WP:
• Brabenec, L., et al. (2019). Non-invasive stimulation of the auditory feedback area for improved articulation in Parkinson's disease. Parkinsonism & related disorders
• Klobusiakova, et al. (2021). Articulatory network reorganization in Parkinson's disease as assessed by multimodal MRI and acoustic measures. Parkinsonism & Related Disorders
• Brabenec, L., et al. (2021). Non-invasive brain stimulation for speech in Parkinson’s disease: A randomized controlled trial. Brain Stimulation
• Submitted to the Parkinsonism and Related Disorders: Brabenec, L., et al. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for hypokinetic dysarthria in Parkinson’s disease enhances white matter integrity in the auditory-motor loop tract.
WP3:
As part of this WP, 10 deliverables were submitted, and we also developed and evaluated a handwriting protocol. The following manuscripts were published relevant to this WP:
• Mucha, J., et al. (2018). Identification and monitoring of Parkinson’s disease dysgraphia based on fractional-order derivatives of online handwriting. Applied Sciences
• Brabenec, L., et al. (2022). Shannon entropy: A novel parameter for quantifying pentagon copying performance in non-demented Parkinson's disease patients. Parkinsonism & related disorders
As part of WP,4 seven deliverables were submitted altogether. We developed an fMRI visual working memory task to assess top-down and bottom-up control of visual attention and test it in the patient group (PD) and in control groups of subjects. The following manuscripts were or will be published relevant to this WP:
• In prep.: Klobušiaková, P. et al.
• In prep.: Veréb, D., et al. Modulation of cortical resting state functional connectivity during a visuospatial attention task in Parkinson’s disease.
• Elfmarkova, N. N., et al. (2017). Neural evidence for defective top-down control of visual processing in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Neuropsychologia
• Veréb, D., et al. (2021). Altered brain network function during attention-modulated visual processing in multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis Journal
• Minsterova, A. S., et al. (2020). Patterns of diffusion kurtosis changes in Parkinson's disease subtypes. Parkinsonism & related disorders
During the project duration we organized several events for the public where we summarized the generated knowledge of the project. You can see the detailed list of public events and their reach in the question Dissemination and Communication activities and in the Technical report.
