Does inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation augment functional task practice to improve arm recovery in chronic stroke? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction. Restoration of upper extremity (UE) functional use remains a challenge for individuals following stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive modality that modulates cortical excitability and is being ...

A Novel fMRI Paradigm Suggests that Pedaling-related Brain Activation is Altered after Stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure pedaling-related brain activation in individuals with stroke and age-matched controls.

Serum NfL, GFAP, and p‐tau217 in adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy and intellectual disabilities: Signs of ongoing neural injury

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Adults with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities (IDs) may be at increased risk of dementia, but clinical evaluation is complex and use of conventional biomarkers is often considered too invasive. We explored abnormality of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and phosphorylated tau‐217 (p ...

Epilepsy in emerging adulthood: Clinical, psychosocial, and surgical challenges

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Emerging adulthood (EAs; ages 19–29 years) is a unique developmental stage marked by major psychological, social, and occupational transitions. We sought to characterize the clinical, psychosocial, and surgical features of epilepsy in emerging adulthood, considering both current age and age at epilepsy onset.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage presenting as TIA in the MCA territory [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Neurology, 2018
A 71-year-old woman treated with Lisinopril for HBP, was brought to our department for right-sided paresthesias, dysarthria and right-sided motor deficits. Onset of symptoms was sudden, about one hour prior to hospitalization.

Spike detection in the wild: Screening of suspected temporal lobe epilepsy cases using a tailored 2‐channel wearable EEG

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To clinically validate the contribution of a custom‐built EEG wearable device (waEEG) compared to a full 10–20 electrode array ambulatory EEG (aEEG) for screening epilepsy cases in patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) but negative routine EEGs. Methods Patients (aged 16–91 years) with clinically suspected TLE who were
