Motor evoked potentials monitoring in resection of infratentorial lesions
Resection of infratentorial tumors is one of the most complicated surgical interventions in neurosurgery. These operations require high-quality technical equipment and high skill of the surgeon.

Paired associative stimulation demonstrates alterations in motor cortical synaptic plasticity in patients with hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]
Objective: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a potentially reversible brain dysfunction caused by liver failure. Altered synaptic plasticity is supposed to play a major role in the pathophysiology of HE. Here, we used paired associative stimulation with an inter-stimulus interval of 25 ms (PAS25), a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol, to ...

Embodied negation and levels of concreteness: A TMS Study on German and Italian language processing [PDF]
According to the embodied cognition perspective, linguistic negation may block the motor simulations induced by language processing. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to the left primary motor cortex (hand area) of monolingual Italian and German healthy participants during a rapid serial visual presentation of sentences from their own

Comparison of transcranial electric motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during cervical spine surgery. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There has been little enthusiasm for somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in cervical spine surgery as a result, in part, of the increased risk of motor tract injury at this level, to which somatosensory monitoring may be insensitive ...

Intracortical and intercortical networks in patients after stroke: a concurrent TMS-EEG study
Background Concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) recording provides information on both intracortical reorganization and networking, and that information could yield new insights into post-stroke ...

Inhibitory feedback from the motor circuit gates mechanosensory processing in C. elegans [PDF]
Animals must integrate sensory cues with their current behavioral context to generate a suitable response. How this integration occurs is poorly understood. Previously we developed high throughput methods to probe neural activity in populations of Caenorhabditis elegans and discovered that the animal's mechanosensory processing is rapidly modulated by ...
