In our clinic invasive transtympanal promontory positive DC stimulations were first used, with a success rate of 42%. However, non-invasive hydrotransmissive negative DC stimulations are now favoured, with improvement being obtained in 37.8% directly ...

Resting state cortical EEG rhythms in Alzheimer's disease: toward EEG markers for clinical applications: a review [PDF]
The human brain contains an intricate network of about 100 billion neurons. Aging of the brain is characterized by a combination of synaptic pruning, loss of cortico-cortical connections, and neuronal apoptosis that provoke an age-dependent decline of ...

Constitutive and Stress-Induced Psychomotor Cortical Responses to Compound K Supplementation
Isolated ginsenoside metabolites such as Compound K (CK) are of increasing interest to consumer and clinical populations as safe and non-pharmacological means to enhance psychomotor performance constitutively and in response to physical or cognitive ...

Cortical patterns and gamma genesis are modulated by reversal potentials and gap-junction diffusion [PDF]
In this chapter we describe a continuum model for the cortex that includes both axon-to-dendrite chemical synapses and direct neuron-to-neuron gap-junction diffusive synapses.

Neural synchrony in cortical networks: history, concept and current status [PDF]
Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal responses in the visual system, the role of neural synchrony in cortical networks has been expanded to provide a general mechanism for the coordination of distributed ...

Cortical Activity at Baseline and During Light Stimulation in Patients With Strabismus and Amblyopia
This research measures and compares the cortical activity at baseline and during light stimulation (LS) in patients with strabismus and amblyopia (SA) and healthy controls (HCs), to understand the differences in its functionality and propose LS as a ...

Resting state cortical electroencephalographic rhythms in covert hepatic encephalopathy and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Patients suffering from prodromal (i.e., amnestic mild cognitive impairment, aMCI) and overt Alzheimer's disease (AD) show abnormal cortical sources of resting state electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythms.

Decoupling of sleep-dependent cortical and hippocampal interactions in a neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia [PDF]
Rhythmic neural network activity patterns are defining features of sleep, but interdependencies between limbic and cortical oscillations at different frequencies and their functional roles have not been fully resolved.

Spread of epileptiform activity in the immature rat neocortex studied with voltage-sensitive dyes and laser scanning microscopy [PDF]
1. Adult rats and rats with a postnatal age of 3-29 days (PN 3-29) were used for the preparation of in vitro slices of the frontal neocortex. Epileptiform activity was induced by bath application of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor ...

Striatal activity topographically reflects cortical activity
The cortex projects to the dorsal striatum topographically1,2 to regulate behaviour3-5, but spiking activity in the two structures has previously been reported to have markedly different relations to sensorimotor events6-9. Here we show that the relationship between activity in the cortex and striatum is spatiotemporally precise, topographic, causal ...
