Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Impact of Weekly Community-Based Dance Training Over 8 Months on Depression and Blood Oxygen Level–Dependent Signals in the Subcallosal Cingulate Gyrus for People With Parkinson Disease: Observational Study”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Impact of Weekly Community-Based Dance Training Over 8 Months on Depression and Blood Oxygen Level–Dependent Signals in the Subcallosal Cingulate Gyrus for People With Parkinson Disease: Observational Study”

We previously used this paradigm with expert ballerinas while they learned choreography over 8 months of ballet performance to see the evolution of modulation with learning and performance in auditory and motor areas (supplementary motor cortex; Bar and De Souza [3]). We used the 30-second “OFF” period to reset the dancers, and the 18 dancers were all able to stop their imagined dance (Di Nota et al [4]).

Impact of Weekly Community-Based Dance Training Over 8 Months on Depression and Blood Oxygen Level–Dependent Signals in the Subcallosal Cingulate Gyrus for People With Parkinson Disease: Observational Study

While in the MR scanner, participants were instructed to visualize themselves dancing from an internal first-person perspective while listening to music associated with the choreography learned in class (for more details on this protocol, see Bar and De Souza [23]). This learning paradigm had been developed and used as a means of probing activity within the auditory and supplementary cortex of expert professional ballerinas during the learning of dance motor sequences [23].

Facilitating Thought Progression to Reduce Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Controlled Trial

Facilitating Thought Progression to Reduce Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Controlled Trial

Bars depict the week-12 scores of high-engagement participants (HE; dark-green bar), low-engagement participants (LE; light-green bar), and waitlist control group (WLC) participants (yellow bar). Horizontal lines depict individual groups’ mean scores at week 8 for reference. With respect to participant feedback, 47% (35/74) of the participants reported that they saw themselves using the app at least once a week if the app was to be made publicly available.
