Abstract

Essential tremor (ET) is a progressive neurological syndrome characterised by involuntary tremors of the hands or arms, head, jaw and voice. The pathophysiology of ET is not clearly understood yet. However, previous studies have reported several changes in the brain of patients with ET. One of the brain areas extensively investigated is the cerebellum. In the present study, a morphometric analysis of Purkinje cells in patients with ET and ET‑plus was performed, and subsequently compared with normal controls using the Golgi silver staining method and 3D neuronal reconstruction. Substantial morphological changes were uncovered in the Purkinje cells of patients with ET compared with normal controls, including a decreased dendritic length and field density, an overall loss of terminal branches and a decreased density of dendritic spines.
