Function and dysfunction of the dystonia network: an exploration of neural circuits that underlie the acquired and isolated dystonias

Jason S. Gill, Megan X. Nguyen, Mariam Hull et al. · 13 Dec 2023

Dystonia is a highly prevalent movement disorder that can manifest at any time across the lifespan. An increasing number of investigations have tied this disorder to dysfunction of a broad "dystonia network" encompassing the cerebellum, thalamus, basal ganglia, and cortex. However, pinpointing how dysfunction of the various anatomic components of the network produces the wide…

Approach to the Treatment of Pediatric Dystonia

Carolina Gorodetsky, Alfonso Fasano · 2 Aug 2022

Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor disability. The treatment of pediatric dystonia can be very challenging as many children tend to be refractory to standard pharmacological interventions. Pharmacological treatment remains the first-line approach in pediatric dystonia. However, despite the widespread…

Quantification of Behavioral Deficits in Developing Mice With Dystonic Behaviors

Meike E. van der Heijden, Jason S. Gill, Alejandro G. Rey Hipolito et al. · 8 Sep 2022

Converging evidence from structural imaging studies in patients, the function of dystonia-causing genes, and the comorbidity of neuronal and behavioral defects all suggest that pediatric-onset dystonia is a neurodevelopmental disorder. However, to fully appreciate the contribution of altered development to dystonia, a mechanistic understanding of how networks become dysfunctional is required for early-onset dystonia. One…

Potential Interactions Between Cerebellar Dysfunction and Sleep Disturbances in Dystonia

Luis E. Salazar Leon, Roy V. Sillitoe · 4 Oct 2022

Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder. It causes debilitating twisting postures that are accompanied by repetitive and sometimes intermittent co- or over-contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles. Historically diagnosed as a basal ganglia disorder, dystonia is increasingly considered a network disorder involving various brain regions including the cerebellum. In certain etiologies of dystonia,…

Cerebellar dysfunction in rodent models with dystonia, tremor, and ataxia

Meike E. van der Heijden, Roy V. Sillitoe · 8 Dec 2023

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary co- or over-contractions of the muscles, which results in abnormal postures and movements. These symptoms arise from the pathophysiology of a brain-wide dystonia network. There is mounting evidence suggesting that the cerebellum is a central node in this network. For example, manipulations that target the cerebellum cause…

Dystonia template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Dystonia format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Dystonia template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Dystonia use?
Dystonia uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Dystonia. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Dystonia?
No. DocuGuru generates the FrontiersinVancouver LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Frontiers-ready Dystonia document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Dystonia template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Dystonia format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Dystonia?
Frontiers journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by Frontiers.
Can I export a submission-ready Dystonia PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Dystonia template (the FrontiersinVancouver class) that is ready to submit to Frontiers, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Dystonia template cost?
You can start writing in the Dystonia template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Dystonia PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
