Rewiring of the corticospinal tract in the adult rat after unilateral stroke and anti-Nogo-A therapy [PDF]
The adult CNS has limited potential for functional recovery after structural lesions. Lindau et al. report that a blocking antibody to the neurite-growth inhibitory protein Nogo-A improved functional recovery in a rat sensorimotor cortex stroke model ...

Intact Bilateral Resting-State Networks in the Absence of the Corpus Callosum [PDF]
Temporal correlations between different brain regions in the resting-state BOLD signal are thought to reflect intrinsic functional brain connectivity (Biswal et al., 1995; Greicius et al., 2003; Fox et al., 2007).

Together, an earlier pilot study and the current confirmatory study show that an autologous cellular therapy promotes beneficial, significant enhancement of manual dexterity recovery after lesion of the primary motor cortex. ABSTRACT Introduction A pilot study provided preliminary evidence indicating that peri‐lesional adult autologous neural cell ...

Modulation of human corticospinal excitability by paired associative stimulation [PDF]
Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) has come to prominence as a potential therapeutic intervention for the treatment of brain injury/disease, and as an experimental method with which to investigate Hebbian principles of neural plasticity in humans ...

Intracortical microstimulation differentially activates cortical layers based on stimulation depth
Intracortical microstimulation is one of the most common techniques to causally interfere with neuronal processing, but neuronal recordings spanning the whole cortical depth during stimulation are exceptionally rare.Here we combined layer-specific intracortical microstimulation with extracellular recordings on the same shank of a linear multi-electrode

Background A growing need exists for neuroscience platforms that can perform simultaneous chronic recording and stimulation of neural tissue in animal models in a telemetry-controlled fashion with signal processing for analysis of the chronic recording ...

Systematic assessment of training-induced changes in corticospinal output to hand using frameless stereotaxic transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]
Measuring changes in the characteristics of corticospinal output has become a critical part of assessing the impact of motor experience on cortical organization in both the intact and injured human brain.

Modeling Dynamic Receptive Field Changes Produced by Intracortical Microstimulation
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of a localized site in the somatosensory cortex of rats and monkeys produces reorganization of receptive field (RF) topography over a large region of the cortex.1 ICMS excites nearly all afferents and excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons within a few microns of the stimulating electrode.

Neural electrodes for brain‐computer interface system: From rigid to soft
Here, we review the development trends of neural electrodes in BCI. This paper highlights the critical role of electrodes in BCI systems, analyzes the limitations of rigid electrodes, and introduces various flexible electrodes. Furthermore, we discuss application scenarios and prospects of BCI electrode technology, aiming to provide valuable references
