Local Field Potential‐Based Programming: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study
Abstract Objectives Programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) is still based on a trial‐and‐error approach, often becoming a time‐consuming process for both treating physicians and patients. Several strategies have been proposed to streamline DBS programming, most of which are preliminary and mainly address Parkinson's disease, a condition readily ...

A Review of the Potential Mechanisms of Action of Baclofen in Alcohol Use Disorder
Baclofen, a GABA-B receptor agonist, is a promising treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Its mechanism of action in this condition is unknown. GABA-B receptors interact with many biological systems potentially involved in AUD, including transduction

Diagnostic and Therapeutic approach in a Case of Severe Acute Baclofen Poisoning [PDF]
Baclofen is a structural analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid with central myorelaxant effect. Ingestion of a toxic dose of baclofen induces a clinical presentation with neurological, cardiac, respiratory and metabolic expression, sometimes life ...

Characteristics of long-duration inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]
1. The characteristics of long-duration inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (l-IPSPs) which are evoked in rat frontal neocortical neurons by local electrical stimulation were investigated with intracellular recordings from anin vitro slice preparation.

O baclofeno intratecal no tratamento da espasticidade.
The neuromotor techniques do not have good results in severe spasticity prevention and treatment (Ashworth Scale > or = 3). High doses of oral Baclofen are required, thus intrathecal baclofen is a current alternative.To assess the effectiveness of ...

Biochemical pharmacology of the positive allosteric modulation of the GABAb receptor "in Vitro" and "in Vivo" [PDF]
Allosteric modulators of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with binding sites on the receptor molecule that are topographically distinct from the classic orthosteric site.

The use of very high-doses of baclofen for the treatment of alcohol-dependence: a case series.
Baclofen, particularly high-dose baclofen, has recently emerged as a treatment of major interest for alcohol-dependence. However, baclofen has many potentially dangerous side effects, and the maximal dose of baclofen that may be used is a matter of ...

Correlates of baclofen effectiveness in alcohol dependence
Alcohol dependence is a global concern. Baclofen has shown promise as an anti-craving agent but its efficiency remains to be settled. We reviewed 549 male cases diagnosed with alcohol dependence who received Acamprosate (201) or Baclofen (348).

Baclofen Withdrawal–Induced Psychosis in the Setting of Renal Insufficiency
Baclofen is used to treat muscle spasticity, acting at GABA B receptors in the central nervous system. The abrupt cessation of baclofen causes baclofen withdrawal–induced psychosis. The risk is exacerbated if the patient has renal insufficiency or if the
