    Abstract Infections are important treatable causes of secondary movement disorders (MD) that can have heterogeneous presentations. According to various studies, infection-related movement disorders (IRMD) account for around 10-20% of secondary MD. Certain infections have a predilection for causing various MD, and some MD phenomenologies, such as acute cerebellar ataxia and opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndromes (OMAS), suggest a strong possibility of an underlying infectious cause. The underlying pathophysiology is multifaceted, including direct neuronal damage due to neurotropism, granulomas, abscesses causing structural damage, and inflammatory and autoimmune responses triggered by infections. Understanding the prevalence, spectrum, and pattern of these IRMD and common infections that are responsible helps in early diagnosis, and instituting appropriate, timely treatment, thereby improving the overall prognosis and avoiding unnecessary investigations. In this review, we aim to provide a brief overview of common infections associated with MD, common clinical presentations of IRMD, their underlying pathophysiology, and overall approach to their treatment, with a focus on specific treatments of prevalent and treatable IRMD.

    Abstract Background: Functional movement disorders (FMD) are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, both to the neurologist and psychiatrists. The phenomenology is varied and can present as tremors, dystonia, jerks/myoclonus, gait disorder, other abnormal movements or a combination. There has been an increase in the use of electrophysiological studies that are an important tool in the evaluation of FMDs.
    Methods: We searched the database platforms of MEDLINE, Google scholar, Web of Sciences, Scopus using the Medical Subject Heading terms (MeSH) for all the articles from 1st January 1970 till November 2022. A total of 658 articles were obtained by the search mechanism. A total of 79 relevant articles were reviewed thoroughly, of which 26 articles that had electrophysiological data were included in the present review.
    Results: Variability, distractibility and entertainability can be demonstrated in functional tremors by using multichannel surface electromyography. Voluntary ballistic movements tend to decrease the tremor, while loading the tremulous limb with weight causes the tremor amplitude to increase in functional tremor. Presence of Bereitschaftspotential demonstrates the functional nature of palatal tremor and myoclonus. Co-contraction testing may be helpful in differentiating functional from organic dystonia. The R2 blink reflex recovery cycle has been found to be abnormally enhanced in organic blepharospasm, whereas it is normal in presumed functional blepharospasm. Plasticity is found to be abnormally high in organic dystonia and normal in functional dystonia, in addition to enhanced facilitation in patients with organic dystonia.
    Conclusions: Electrophysiological tests supplement clinical examination and helps in differentiating FMD from organic movement disorders.

    Abstract Treatable ataxias are a group of ataxic disorders with specific treatments. These disorders include genetic and metabolic disorders, immune-mediated ataxic disorders, and ataxic disorders associated with infectious and parainfectious etiology, vascular causes, toxins and chemicals, and endocrinopathies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of different treatable ataxias. The major metabolic and genetic treatable ataxic disorders include ataxia with vitamin E deficiency, abetalipoproteinemia, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, Niemann-Pick disease type C, autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia due to coenzyme Q10 deficiency, glucose transporter type 1 deficiency, and episodic ataxia type 2. The treatment of these disorders includes the replacement of deficient cofactors and vitamins, dietary modifications, and other specific treatments. Treatable ataxias with immune-mediated etiologies include gluten ataxia, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody-associated ataxia, steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis, Miller-Fisher syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Although dietary modification with a gluten-free diet is adequate in gluten ataxia, other autoimmune ataxias are managed by short-course steroids, plasma exchange, or immunomodulation. For autoimmune ataxias secondary to malignancy, treatment of tumor can reduce ataxic symptoms. Chronic alcohol consumption, antiepileptics, anticancer drugs, exposure to insecticides, heavy metals, and recreational drugs are potentially avoidable and treatable causes of ataxia. Infective and parainfectious causes of cerebellar ataxias include acute cerebellitis, postinfectious ataxia, Whipple's disease, meningoencephalitis, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. These disorders are treated with steroids and antibiotics. Recognizing treatable disorders is of paramount importance when dealing with ataxias given that early treatment can prevent permanent neurological sequelae.

    Abstract Tremor dominant Parkinson's disease (TDPD) and essential tremor plus (ETP) syndrome are commonly encountered tremor dominant neurological disorders. Although the basal ganglia thalamocortical (BGTC) and cerebello thalamocortical (CTC) networks are implicated in tremorogenesis, the extent of functional connectivity alterations across disorders is uncertain. This study aims to evaluate functional connectivity of the BGTC and CTC in TDPD and ETP. Resting state functional MRI was acquired for 25 patients with TDPD, ETP and 22 healthy controls (HC). Following pre-processing and denoising, seed-to-voxel based connectivity was carried out at FDR < 0.05 using ROIs belonging to the BGTC and CTC. Fahn-Tolosa-Marin tremor rating scale (FTMRS) was correlated with the average connectivity values at FDR < 0.05. Compared to HC, TDPD showed decreased connectivity between cerebellum and pre, post central gyrus. While, ETP showed decreased connectivity between pallidum and occipital cortex, precuneus, cuneus compared to HC. In comparison to ETP, TDPD showed increased connectivity between precentral gyrus, pallidum, SNc with the default mode network (DMN), and decreased connectivity between cerebellum with superior, middle frontal gyrus was observed. Tremor severity positively correlated with connectivity between SNc and DMN in TDPD, and negatively correlated with pallidal connectivity in ETP. Pattern of BGTC, CTC involvement is differential i.e., higher connectivity of the BGTC nodes in TDPD, and higher connectivity of cerebellar nodes in ETP. The interesting observation of pallidal involvement in ETP suggests the role of BGTC in the pathogenesis of ETP, and indicated similarities in concepts of tremor genesis in TDPD and ETP.

    Abstract Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA-12) is an uncommon autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia characterized by action tremors in the upper limbs, dysarthria, head tremor, and gait ataxia. We aimed to evaluate the motor cortical excitability in patients with SCA-12 using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
    Methods: The study was done in the department of Neurology at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore. Nine patients with SCA-12 (2 females) and 10 healthy controls (2 females) were included in the study. TMS was performed in all the subjects and various parameters such as resting motor threshold (RMT), central motor conduction time (CMCT) and contralateral silent period (cSP) were recorded. The left motor cortex was stimulated and the recording was done from right first dorsal interossei muscle. The severity of ataxia was assessed using the scale for assessment and rating in ataxia (SARA).
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.11 ± 7.56 years mean age at onset: 51.67 ± 4.18 years. The mean duration of illness was 9.44 ± 4.88 years. The mean SARA score was 13.83 ± 3.60. Patients with SCA-12 had significantly increased RMT (88.80 ± 12.78 %) compared to HC (44.90 ± 9.40 %, p < 0.05). A significantly prolonged CMCT was observed in patients (13.70 ± 2.52 msec) compared to HC (7.31 ± 1.21 msec, p < 0.05). In addition, cSP was significantly increased in SCA-12 patients (144.43 ± 25.79 msec) compared to HC (82.14 ± 28.90 msec, p < 0.05).
    Conclusions: Patients with SCA-12 demonstrate a reduced cortical excitability and increased cortical inhibition suggesting an increase in the GABAergic neurotransmission.

    Abstract Background: Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) refers to patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) whose age at disease onset is less than 50 years. Literature on the non-motor symptoms (NMS) in these patients is very limited in the Indian context. We aimed to study the NMS in patients with EOPD and its impact on the quality of life (QoL).
    Methods: We included 124 patients with EOPD with a mean age at disease onset between 21 and 45 years and 60 healthy controls (HC). NMS were assessed using validated scales, and the QoL domains were evaluated using the PD QoL-39 scale (PDQ-39).
    Results: The mean age at disease onset in EOPD patients was 37.33 ± 6.36 years. Majority of the patients were male (66.12%). The average disease duration was 6.62 ± 5.3 years. EOPD patients exhibited a significantly higher number of NMS per patient (7.97 ± 4.69) compared to HC (1.3 ± 1.39;
    Conclusions: Our study provides valuable insights into the NMS profile and its impact on QoL in patients with EOPD, addressing an important knowledge gap in the Indian context. By understanding the specific NMS and their influence on QoL, healthcare professionals can develop targeted interventions to address these symptoms and improve the overall QoL.
