Variability in non-invasive brain stimulation studies: reasons and results [PDF]

, 2018
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS), such as Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), are widely used to probe plasticity in the human motor cortex (M1). Although

Synchrotron‐generated microbeams as a radiosurgical alternative for drug‐resistant epilepsies: Proof of concept in a mouse model of mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective One‐third of patients with epilepsy, particularly those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), remain resistant to medication. Resective surgery, the gold standard, is highly invasive and carries significant risks. Here, using a mouse model, we explored the potential of microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a new technique based on ...

Inroads into epilepsy through high‐frequency oscillations: Achievements and benchmark areas for improvement

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐frequency oscillations (HFOs) were discovered more than 20 years ago, and since then they have been studied intensively in the context of epilepsy. HFOs encompass a broad spectrum of oscillations, typically ranging from 80 Hz to several kHz, that include both normal and pathological oscillations, documented in people with epilepsy and ...

Analgesic Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Different Stimulus Parameters for Neuropathic Pain: A Randomized Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the analgesic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex (M1‐rTMS) using different stimulation parameters to explore the optimal stimulus condition for treating neuropathic pain.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

A Randomized, Sham‐Controlled Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting M1 and S2 in Central Poststroke Pain: A Pilot Trial

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
